Javascript: How to change string formated value into to array?

Question

I would like to convert string formatted text into an array as follows. Source string is like:

var myString = "[3, 8750, "Some text, with commas"]";

Required result is as follows:

myArray[0] = 3;
myArray[1] = 8750;
myArray[2] = "Some text, with commas";

I will appreciate any kind of support..

That is not a valid string. Check your quotes and correct please. — Randy Casburn, Jun 04 '18 at 21:56
`JSON.parse(myString)`, but fix your string format first (*ex: make the outer quotes single*). — Spencer Wieczorek, Jun 04 '18 at 21:56

On the backend side, I didn't defined it as JSON, but an ordinary array.. Anyway thanks for your quick support — Tolga, Jun 04 '18 at 22:10
@Tolga An ordinary array with primitive values is a valid JSON value. — Spencer Wieczorek, Jun 04 '18 at 23:34

Use JSON.parse() to change string formated value into to array.

var myString = "[3, 8750, \"Some text, with commas\"]";
let myStringList =JSON.parse(myString);
console.log(myStringList);
