Parse JSON to javascript object

Question

I have a string like this one:

{
    "products":{"56":"productName","28":"productName"},
    "excludedProducts":{"83":"productName","1":"poductName"}
}

So what I want is to get an object in javascript which looks like this:

{
     products: {
         "56": "productName",
         "28": "productName"
     },
     excludedProducts: {
         "83": "productName",
         "1": "productName"
     }
}

But JSON.parse() converts numbers into indexes and I get

{
     products: {
         28: "productName",
         56: "productName"
     },
     excludedProducts: {
         83: "productName",
         1: "productName"
     }
}

So basically, is there a way to preserve order of elements after parsing the string formatted like that?

yes just use alphanumeric syntax for key. like k_28 so the order will not change. — developerCK

You need to make use of Arrays to preserve the formatting.

Right. My bad. I ended up using JSON formatted like this: {"products":[[25,"productName"],...],"excludedProducts":[[83,"productName"],...]}
