Since new Date(2015,9,25) is not valid JSON, than you need to use eval(yourString) to parse your string to valid Object:

console.log(eval('[{ date: new Date(2015,9,25), NAV: 12},{ date: new Date(2016,9,25), NAV: 22}]'));

You can convert to a valid Javascript object using function

JSON.parse(str);

but string should be in valid json format.

try this,

var obj = $.parseJSON(jsonString);

or 

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(jsonString);

may be this might help

you can convert it to json.parse:

    var json = $.parseJSON(myString)

or you can refer this link below
