how to cast string to a function in javascript?

Question

I didn't find the keyword for google...

My Problem is

let's have a json array

{
  "a":"b",
  "c" : "d",
  "api" : 
  {
    "name":"listOfNetwork",
    "param" :['xyz','xyz1']
  } 
}

Now i have a javascript method

function listOfNetwork(param1, param2) //name-of-api, params
{
     // do something.
}

how to invoke this function by retrieving the name and parameters from JSON.

Please help

Assuming that the JSON array is called myJSON, you could get the values from the array by calling myJSON.api.name, myJSON.api.param[0], etc. Hope that helps. — ktcw

window[json.api.name].apply(this, json.api.param)

Thats all.
