I would recommend using JSON.stringify, which converts the set of the variables in the object to a JSON string.
var obj = {
name: 'myObj'
};
JSON.stringify(obj);
Most modern browsers support this method natively, but for those that don't, you can include a JS version.

Use javascript String() function
String(yourobject); //returns [object Object]
or stringify()
JSON.stringify(yourobject)
Actually, the best solution is using JSON:
Documentation
JSON.parse(text[, reviver]);
Examples:
1)
var myobj = JSON.parse('{ "hello":"world" }');
alert(myobj.hello); // 'world'
2)
var myobj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify({
hello: "world"
});
alert(myobj.hello); // 'world'
3) Passing a function to JSON
var obj = {
hello: "World",
sayHello: (function() {
console.log("I say Hello!");
}).toString()
};
var myobj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj));
myobj.sayHello = new Function("return ("+myobj.sayHello+")")();
myobj.sayHello();
Your string looks like a JSON string without the curly braces.
This should work then:
obj = eval('({' + str + '})');
