Converting plain string to dictionary

Hello,

I have a string as
s = "{a : b, c : 2}"

I want to convert this string to json object. There are no quotes
inside the string that means it's not like "{'a' : 'b', 'c' : 2}", so
when I tried to convert this string to json using eval() it's throwing
exception.

Please let me know if there is any other way to convert the plane
text / string into json?

Thanks
