Adding quotations to stringified JSON object values
My stringified object data doesn't include quotation marks around object values, which errors when attempting JSON.parse():
'{ "affiliation": CORPORATE, "userId": 75c35d1c-5d12-4485-8fa8-b2f1551a3e6e }'
I need the string to be:
'{ "affiliation": "CORPORATE", "userId": "75c35d1c-5d12-4485-8fa8-b2f1551a3e6e" }'
I'm using this regex to add quotes to the object keys:
var newStr = str.replace(/(['"])?([a-z0-9A-Z_]+)(['"])?:/g, '"$2": ');
For instance:
'{ affiliation: CORPORATE }' to '{ "affiliation": CORPORATE }'
There are only string values in my data, so I don't need to check value types. How can I alter my regex expression to add quotations to object values as well?

@ACD my regex currently adds quotes to the object key, but doesn't add quotes to the object value

Is it really impossible to fix the other side that generates it incorrectly?

@zerkms Yes, this data is coming from a neo4j dump converted to CVS but the original source doesn't wrap quotes

is there a guarantee that special values like spaces,,:or"will not be present in the stringified object? If not, how would you add quotes to{ a key: a value, maybe key: value: 2}?

You can use the following regex:
/[ ](?=b)|b(?=,|[ ])/g
It starts matching a Space and use a look ahead for a Word boundary. It then uses an alternation for a Word boundary followed by a comma or a Space.
It uses the 'global' flag to match all.
Then you replace the matches with a double quote.
