Converting JavaScript object with numeric keys into array

Question

I have an object like this coming back as a JSON response from the server:

{\"0\":\"1\",\"1\":\"2\",\"2\":\"3\",\"3\":\"4\"}

I want to conv

Answer 1

It's actually very straight forward with jQuery's $.map

var arr = $.map(obj, function(el) { return el });

FIDDLE

and almost as easy without jQuery as well, converting the keys to an array and then mapping back the values with Array.map

var arr = Object.keys(obj).map(function(k) { return obj[k] });

FIDDLE

That's assuming it's already parsed as a javascript object, and isn't actually JSON, which is a string format, in that case a run through JSON.parse would be necessary as well.

In ES2015 there's Object.values to the rescue, which makes this a breeze

var arr = Object.values(obj);

Answer 2

Not sure what I am missing here but simply trying the below code does the work. Am I missing anything here?

https://jsfiddle.net/vatsalpande/w3ew5bhq/

$(document).ready(function(){

var json = {
   "code" :"1", 
   "data" : { 
    "0" : {"id":"1","score":"44"},
    "1" : {"id":"1","score":"44"}
    }
  };

  createUpdatedJson();

  function createUpdatedJson(){

    var updatedJson = json;

    updatedJson.data = [updatedJson.data];

    $('#jsondata').html(JSON.stringify(updatedJson));


    console.log(JSON.stringify(updatedJson));
  }
 })

You can use Object.assign() with an empty array literal [] as the target:

const input = {
  "0": "1",
  "1": "2",
  "2": "3",
  "3": "4"
}

const output = Object.assign([], input)

console.log(output)

If you check the polyfill, Object.assign(target, ...sources) just copies all the enumerable own properties from the source objects to a target object. If the target is an array, it will add the numerical keys to the array literal and return that target array object.

Answer 4

var JsonObj = {
  "0": "1",
  "1": "2",
  "2": "3",
  "3": "4"
};

var array = [];
for (var i in JsonObj) {
  if (JsonObj.hasOwnProperty(i) && !isNaN(+i)) {
    array[+i] = JsonObj[i];
  }
}

console.log(array)
