Оформил проблему в песочнице на jsFiddle
https://jsfiddle.net/WebSofter/wdnkhszp/
Вот весь код:
//Случай 1. Есть такой JSON объект
var data1 = {"pages":"only","menu":[{"skrytoe-menyu":[{}]},{"services":[{"field_3":{"id":"201","menutype":"services","alias":"iphone-remont","title":"Ремонт IPhone","parent_id":"1"},}]},{"mainmenu":[{"field_8":{"id":"1227","menutype":"mainmenu","alias":"joomprice","title":"JoomPrice","parent_id":"881"}}]},{"kompaniya":[{"field_4":{"id":"234","menutype":"kompaniya","alias":"blog","title":"Контакты","parent_id":"1"},"field_5":{"id":"242","menutype":"kompaniya","alias":"contact-page","title":"Contact Us","parent_id":"1"},"field_6":{"id":"243","menutype":"kompaniya","alias":"about-us-page","title":"О нас","parent_id":"1"},"field_7":{"id":"244","menutype":"kompaniya","alias":"products-page","title":"Products","parent_id":"1"},}]},{"droptables":[{}]}]};
//Гоняю в строку
var str1 = JSON.stringify(data1);
//Гоняю обратно в объект
var json1 = JSON.parse(str1);
//Все выводится все ок
console.log(json1);
//Случай 2. Есть тот же JSON объект в виде строки
var data2 = '{"pages":"only","menu":[{"skrytoe-menyu":[{}]},{"services":[{"field_3":{"id":"201","menutype":"services","alias":"iphone-remont","title":"Ремонт IPhone","parent_id":"1"},}]},{"mainmenu":[{"field_8":{"id":"1227","menutype":"mainmenu","alias":"joomprice","title":"JoomPrice","parent_id":"881"}}]},{"kompaniya":[{"field_4":{"id":"234","menutype":"kompaniya","alias":"blog","title":"Контакты","parent_id":"1"},"field_5":{"id":"242","menutype":"kompaniya","alias":"contact-page","title":"Contact Us","parent_id":"1"},"field_6":{"id":"243","menutype":"kompaniya","alias":"about-us-page","title":"О нас","parent_id":"1"},"field_7":{"id":"244","menutype":"kompaniya","alias":"products-page","title":"Products","parent_id":"1"},}]},{"droptables":[{}]}]}';
//Пытаюсь гонять в объект и бац ошибка
var json2 = JSON.parse(data2);
console.log(json2);
