Jquery JSON array from string

Question

I have such array in Jquery code:

var marr = new Array();
marr[0] = new Object();
marr[0]["name"] = "Spot 1";
marr[0]["value"] = 20;
marr[1] = new Object();
marr[1]["name"] = "Spot 2";
marr[1]["value"] = 70;

How can I represent this array as a (more or less) user friendly string (to give users an ability to send some values as plugin options). An than parse it back for jquery?

Answer 1

You could have generated a JSON string from the marr array. It may had given you what you are looking for.

> console.log(JSON.stringify(marr));
[
 {
 "name": "Spot 1",
 "value": 20
 },
 {
 "name": "Spot 2",
 "value": 70
 }
]

Answer 2

Something like this?

var marr = [ {"name": "Spot 1", "value":20}, {"name": "Spot 2", "value":70} ];

This is same as the code you mentioned above.

• Kotanet: But then i use something like var name = marr[i].name to get array values, so i need "titles" for array items...
• Wolf: Updated my answer.. Now marr[1].name will give you Spot 1

Answer 3

this will be json representation of array

var marr=[
 {"name":"spot 1","value":20}
 {"name":"spot 2","value":70}
 ]
