Not exactly the answer you are looking for, but it could be useful for general purpose.

var hash2Array = function(hash, valueOnly) {
  return Object.keys(hash).map(function(k) {
    if (valueOnly) {
      return hash[k];
    } else {
      var obj={};
      obj[k] = hash[k];
      return obj;
    }
  });
};

//output
hash2Array({a:1, b:2});     // [{a:1}, {b:2}]
hash2Array({a:1, b:2},true) // [1,2]
