How to convert JS Object to Array

Question

I need to convert a hash map

{ 
    \"fruit\" : [\"mango\",\"orange\"],
    \"veg\"   : [\"carrot\"]
} 

to

[ 
  { \"type\         


        

Answer 1

It looks simple, key of your map is type and values are name, so just loop thru map and insert object in a list e.g.

var d = { "fruit" : ["mango","orange"],"veg" :["carrot"]} 
var l = []
for(var type in d){
    l.push({'type':type, 'name': d[type]})
}
console.log(l)

output:

[{"type":"fruit","name":["mango","orange"]},{"type":"veg","name":["carrot"]}]
