How to convert an Object {} to an Array [] of key-value pairs in JavaScript

Question

I want to convert an object like this:

{\"1\":5,\"2\":7,\"3\":0,\"4\":0,\"5\":0,\"6\":0,\"7\":0,\"8\":0,\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":0,\"12\":0}

Answer 1

Use Object.keys and Array#map methods.

var obj = {
  "1": 5,
  "2": 7,
  "3": 0,
  "4": 0,
  "5": 0,
  "6": 0,
  "7": 0,
  "8": 0,
  "9": 0,
  "10": 0,
  "11": 0,
  "12": 0
};
// get all object property names
var res = Object.keys(obj)
  // iterate over them and generate the array
  .map(function(k) {
    // generate the array element 
    return [+k, obj[k]];
  });

console.log(res);
