I have a long JSON array from which I would like to remove a specific key and its value and then re-construct it as a JSON array.

How do I remove question_title from the following JSON array and then recreate it the same way?

Assuming you have the JSON in a string called json_content:

var question_list = JSON.parse(json_content);
for(var i=0; i < question_list.length; ++i) {
 var question = question_list[i];
 delete question["question_title"];
}
var new_json_content = JSON.stringify(question_list);

You can delete the property from each object in the array once you parse it into an object with JSON.parse. Then, use JSON.stringify to produce new JSON.

The JSON object is supported in modern browsers; older browsers require a polyfill.

I did a console.log(new_json_content) but question_title still seems to be there
