jquery merge two objects

Question

How can I merge jquery objects together

I have

 {
  \"merchantcontract\":\"Ready Reserve Foods 10104.01\",
  \"merchantcontractid\":\"c4253769-5a57-e11         


        

Answer 1

If you want to update your existing object, use:

$.extend(obj1, obj2); //update obj1 and put all obj2 values in it.

$.extend will change the values of your existing object

To create a new third object that is the sum of both objects, you can use this function

function merger_objects(obj1,obj2){
  $.each(obj2, function(key, value) {
     obj1[key] = value;    
  });
 return obj1;
}

Example

var fruit = {apple:"sweet",graps:"bitter"}
var vege = {cucamber:"bitter",letuce:"bitter"}

var fruit_and_vege = merger_objects(fruit,vege); 
//returns {apple:"sweet",graps:"bitter",cucamber:"bitter",letuce:"bitter"}
