hi abhinandanyadav,  strings inside json must be double-quoted (not single-quote or none).  the following code will work:

```javascript

// valid JSON

JSON.parse('[{"_id":"5871547e5646511100195e9b","date":"2018-10-05T09:57:39.230Z"}]')

```

Hello,

In addition to what the others suggested, I'll suggest removing the outer, double quotes around your thing and it's going to be an object instantly, no de-serialization needed. That depends on your use case, though, but in the example you provided, it will work's
