Post the code I guess. That will be really helpful.

My output Json List:

 

[{"Name":"Test'","Phone":"9000000010"},{"Name":"Test'","Phone":"9000000010"}]

 

In above output, Name Contains Name+'(Test')

My code:

public String result{get;set;}   

 

public Test() { 

     List<Account> AccountList = [SELECT Id,Name FROM Account];

     result= Json.serialize(TopAccountsInnerList); 

}

 

<apex:page controller="Test">

<apex:includescript value="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"/>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8">

$(document).ready(function() {

alert('{!result}');
});
</script>

</apex:page>

Avi Its working.But it passing into parseJSON, its thorws unexpected string error.

 

My code:

 

var result = $.parseJSON('{!JSENCODE(result)}');

James! I will suggest you to use JS remoting instead of merge fields. All of this encoding/decoding into js object and apex object are handeled automatically. You just have to return values like any other method.
