How do I convert a String object into a Hash object?

by

For different string, you can do it without using dangerous eval method:

hash_as_string = "{\"0\"=>{\"answer\"=>\"1\", \"value\"=>\"No\"}, \"1\"=>{\"answer\"=>\"2\", \"value\"=>\"Yes\"}, \"2\"=>{\"answer\"=>\"3\", \"value\"=>\"No\"}, \"3\"=>{\"answer\"=>\"4\", \"value\"=>\"1\"}, \"4\"=>{\"value\"=>\"2\"}, \"5\"=>{\"value\"=>\"3\"}, \"6\"=>{\"value\"=>\"4\"}}"
JSON.parse hash_as_string.gsub('=>', ':')
