Here\'s my array (from Chrome console):

Here\'s the pertinent part of code:

Answer 1

In javascript arrays have indexes that are numeric keys. JSON.stringify assumes that an array have only properties which are numbers.

You want to use an object, as what you have is not an array, but resembles a dictionary.

Here is an example I made: http://jsfiddle.net/developerwithacaffeineproblem/pmxt8bwf/2/

object = Object()
object["age"] = 1
object["cars"] = 2
object["girlfriends"] = 3

JSON.stringify(object)

Results in:
"{"age":1,"cars":2,"girlfriends":3}"

Afterwards when you parse the data if you want to iterate it you can use a piece of code similiar to this:

for (var key in yourobject) {
  if (yourobject.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
     console.log(key, yourobject[key]);
  }
}
