How to create json by JavaScript for loop?

Answer 1

If I want to create JavaScript Object from string generated by for loop then I would JSON to Object approach. I would generate JSON string by iterating for loop and then use any popular JavaScript Framework to evaluate JSON to Object.

I have used Prototype JavaScript Framework. I have two array with keys and values. I iterate through for loop and generate valid JSON string. I use evalJSON() function to convert JSON string to JavaScript object.

Here is example code. Tryout on your FireBug Console

var key = ["color", "size", "fabric"];
var value = ["Black", "XL", "Cotton"];

var json = "{ ";
for(var i = 0; i < key.length; i++) {
    (i + 1) == key.length ? json += "\"" + key[i] + "\" : \"" + value[i] + "\"" : json += "\"" + key[i] + "\" : \"" + value[i] + "\",";
}
json += " }";
var obj = json.evalJSON(true);
console.log(obj);
