get one item from an array of name,value JSON

Question

I have this array:

var arr = [];
arr.push({name:\"k1\", value:\"abc\"});
arr.push({name:\"k2\", value:\"hi\"});
arr.push({name:\"k3\", value:\"oa\"});
         


        

Answer 1

To answer your exact question you can get the exact behaviour you want by extending the Array prototype with:

Array.prototype.get = function(name) {
    for (var i=0, len=this.length; i

this will add the get() method to all arrays and let you do what you want, i.e:

arr.get('k1'); //= abc
