$scope.tmp = {"firstName":"John","age":454 };

`JSON.parse()` is what I think you're looking for. - Also, this is a duplicate. – evolutionxbox Jul 04 '16 at 08:57

This is not an exact duplicate. OP asks for the best answer within its framework (angular). I know JSON.Parse() works, but there is something else to do it with angular, for some reasons. – Deblaton Jean-Philippe Jul 04 '16 at 09:06

@evolutionxbox, `JSON.parse()` doesn't work – Ehsan Ali Jul 04 '16 at 09:26

1This is due to the extra quotes. Take off the outer single quotes, and then `JSON.parse` will work. – evolutionxbox Jul 04 '16 at 10:30

You can do it with angular.fromJson()
in your sample, it would have been $scope.tmp = angular.fromJson($scope.text);
The difference between JSON.Parse() and angular.fromJson, is that angular will check to make sure a string is provided. If it is already an object, it will return the same object.

1You have to remove your simple quotes around your string to make it work : `$scope.text = "{\"firstName\":\"John\",\"age\":454 }";` – Deblaton Jean-Philippe Jul 04 '16 at 10:58
