JavaScript: convert css string to JSON

css2json.js

//converts a css string to json
var css2json = function(str){
  return str
    .replace(/(\w*:)/g, '$1"')  //create json format
    .replace(/[;]/g, '";')
    .replace(/(\'{2,})/g, '"')
    .replace(/;/g, ',')
    .replace(/(['"])?([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(['"])?:/g, '"$2": ')
    .replace(/,\s*\}/,'}')
    .trim();
}

This function does not work. Here is an example:
css2json('body{font-size:12px;}p{color:red;}'); --> "body{\"font-size\": \"12px\"}p{\"color\": \"red\",}" JSON.parse(css2json('body{font-size:12px;}p{color:red;}')); --> SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data[Learn More]

Thanks for sharing. It helped much.
