Ruby on Rails

require 'json'

str = "1=2,3=(4=5,6=7)"
new_str = str.gsub(/=|\(|\)/) do |m|
if m == "="
m= "=>"
elsif m == "("
m = "{"
else
m = "}"
end
end

new_str = new_str.prepend("{") << "}"
# => "{1=>2,3=>{4=>5,6=>7}}"

JSON.parse(new_str)
# ~>
/home/kirti/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p0/lib/ruby/2.0.0/json/common.rb:155:in
`parse': 757: unexpected token at '{1=>2,3=>{4=>5,6=>7}}'
(JSON::ParserError)
# ~> from
/home/kirti/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p0/lib/ruby/2.0.0/json/common.rb:155:in
`parse'
# ~> from -:15:in `<main>'


My question is how should I get the hash {1=>2,3=>{4=>5,6=>7}} from that
string?
