As much as I understand from your URL you are trying to post this %7B%22book%22:%22ABC%22%7D data in query string.

So first you need to decode your URL encoded data into an string which can be parsed. For that you can take help of decodeURIComponent() javascript API.

decodeURIComponent() - this function decodes an encoded URI ponent back to the plain text i.e. like in your encoded text it will convert %7B into opening brace {. So once we apply this API you get -

//output : Object { book: "ABC" }

This is a valid JSON string now you can simply parse. So what all you need to do is -

var formData = "%7B%22book%22:%22ABC%22%7D";
var decodedData = decodeURIComponent(formData);
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(decodedData);
console.log(jsonObject );

The JSON.parse() method parses a JSON string, constructing the JavaScript value or object described by the string

The decodeURIComponent function will convert URL encoded characters back to plain text.

var myJSON = decodeURIComponent("%7B%22book%22:%22ABC%22%7D");
var myObject = JSON.parse(myJSON);
