title: Node.js JSON.parse(string) is returning a string
body: <p>I have a JSON object as a string, I am parsing it with <strong>JSON.parse()</strong> but the resulting object is still a string. Am I doing something wrong?</p>
  
  <pre><code>var myString = "{Username:Brad,Password:12345}";
  
  // adding in the quotes or else it throws an error saying 'unidentified token U
  var myJson = JSON.parse('"' + myString + '"');
  
  console.log(myJson.Username); // prints 'undefined'
  console.log(typeof(myJson));  // prints 'string'
  </code></pre>
