Say i got a variable,
var s = "\"\\\"abc\\\"\"";
which is unescaped to "\"abc\"" when i display in the browser.
But i need it to be further unescaped to the actual value "abc".

A:
You can, but probably shouldn't, call eval:
s = eval(s);
However, this is extremely dangerous.
For a safer solution, please provide more detail.

I'm calling a service which returns me the raw values of a form component in JSON. The value to be displayed in actually "abc" (with quotes), but the JSON returned is "\"\\\"abc\\\"\"". Is the service suppose to return "\"abc\"" instead?var returned = { value: "\"\\\"abc\\\"\""}

A:
I honestly don't know the context of your problem, but perhaps you can do something like this:-
s = s.replace(/\"|\\/g, ""); // remove all double quote and backslash
Of course, this solution is not going to be fool-proof and may not be the recommended solution if you have to handle more scenarios that are not shown in your example.
