create a json array from html table

Answer 1

Here's my implementation:

var tableToObj = function( table ) {
    var trs = table.rows,
        trl = trs.length,
        i = 0,
        j = 0,
        keys = [],
        obj, ret = [];

    for (; i < trl; i++) {
        if (i == 0) {
            for (; j < trs[i].children.length; j++) {
                keys.push(trs[i].children[j].innerHTML);
            }
        } else {
            obj = {};
            for (j = 0; j < trs[i].children.length; j++) {
                obj[keys[j]] = trs[i].children[j].innerHTML;
            }
            ret.push(obj);
        }
    }

    return ret;
};

Which you would invoke like:

var obj = tableToObj( document.getElementsByTagName('table')[0] ); // or
var obj = tableToObj( document.getElementById('myTable') );
