I am getting Json string from my server as below
var str = {"12:30 PM":"1:00 PM","11:30 AM":"12:00 PM"}
I want to convert it in an array like
var str = [["12:30 PM","1:00 PM"], ["11:30 AM","12:00 PM"]];
How would I do that?
I tried to convert using jQuery.parseJSON(str), but it's giving error.
I also researched a lot in stackoverflow and there seems to be many solutionfor this problem but none of the solution is working for this issue.
The str is already an object.
You could use jQuery.map method.
var str = {"12:30 PM":"1:00 PM","11:30 AM":"12:00 PM"};
var result = $.map(str, function(value, key) {
return [[key, value]];
});
Try this map example
var str = {"12:30 PM":"1:00 PM","11:30 AM":"12:00 PM"};
var convert = Object.keys(str).map(function(k) {
return [k, str[k]];
});
If you need support for IE <= 8, see Object.keys pollyfill and Array.prototype.map pollyfill
str in your questionCan you try this.
var p = {"12:30 PM":"1:00 PM","11:30 AM":"12:00 PM"}
var o = [];
for (k in p) {
if (p.hasOwnProperty(k)) {
o.push([k, p[k]]);
}
}
for..in loops. In some circumstances they can pick up more properties than you might expect
var str = '{"12:30 PM":"1:00 PM","11:30 AM":"12:00 PM"}';
object = JSON.parse(str);
var my_array = new Array();
for(var key in object ){
my_array[key] = object[key];
}
Assuming you're talking about actual string that you're getting from the server, you can do a plain string replacement:
var str = '{"12:30 PM":"1:00 PM","11:30 AM":"12:00 PM"}';
str = str
.replace('{"','[["')
.replace('"}','"]]')
.replace('","','"],["')
.replace(/":"/g,'","')
This will make str into string representing an array. To make a real array out of it you can do something like this:
var arr;
eval('arr = ' + str);
This is the only legitimate use of eval I can advocate.
eval, you could use JSON.parse(str) and then map the object to a new array (see other answers)
str.sort(); in the example above - str is still a string. Instead call arr.sort(); - arr being a real array
var str = '{"12:30 PM":"1:00 PM","11:30 AM":"12:00 PM"}';
