Json parsing error for specific string

Question

Simple question:

Here is my string:

{Path:5984fcb4-8bf8-4205-86f8-e6e2042ba610.jpg,StatusCode:OK}

Why can't I parse my string to Json using the following method:

var obj = $.parseJSON(data);

This site says also my json is not in a correct format.

What do I have to do to transfer this kind of data in json format?

Thanks in advance,

These doesn't work too: {Path: "37028c2a-362d-49a5-9c59-f13c1188f9e7.jpg", StatusCode: "OK"} — xkcd

The string needs to look like this:

{"Path":"5984fcb4-8bf8-4205-86f8-e6e2042ba610.jpg","StatusCode":"OK"}

You might also need single quotes around that:

'{"Path":"5984fcb4-8bf8-4205-86f8-e6e2042ba610.jpg","StatusCode":"OK"}'

Not proper, needs quotes around keys and values for proper json

{"Path":"5984fcb4-8bf8-4205-86f8-e6e2042ba610.jpg","StatusCode":"OK"}
