This is format of JSON data: [{"options":"smart_exp"},{"options":"user_int"},{"options":"blahblah"}] that I receive through getjson from server. I need to append json with user input. I am trying to do it in this way: 1st convert it into javascript object, append it with user input, again convert to json object & send it back to server for database update. I have converted json to javaScript object using eval(). Now not able to manipulate javascript object. If I convert javascript object back to json object, it displays correctly all data that was sent from server.
