How do I make a string that consists of a table, so that i can use it as a table?
for example I have this code
local table = "{Cald_fan = 3, otherperson = 5}"
But i want something that makes it be a table, not a string so it will be like this instead
{Cald_fan = 3, otherperson = 5}
the reason i am asking a question like this is because trello api returns strings, and the information is a table.

Try using JSONDecode and JSONEncode? UltraUnitMode 419 — 5y

You would need quite a bit of string manipulation greatneil80 2647 — 5y

This method is an alternative to JsonDecode and is not recommended because of lack in security.
local strtable = "{Cald_fan = 3, otherperson = 5}"
strtable = loadstring("return " .. strtable)() -- Make sure you enable loadstring in serverscriptservice.
