You can do it like this (in a working snippet):
var input = {
"fruit" : ["mango","orange"],
"veg" : ["carrot"]
}
var output = [], item;
for (var type in input) {
item = {};
item.type = type;
item.name = input[type];
output.push(item);
}
// display result
document.write(JSON.stringify(output));
Or, if you or someone else has been extending the Object
prototype with enumerable properties (which I think is a bad practice personally), then you could use this to protect from that:
var input = {
"fruit" : ["mango","orange"],
"veg" : ["carrot"]
}
var output = [], item;
for (var type in input) {
if (input.hasOwnProperty(type)) {
item = {};
item.type = type;
item.name = input[type];
output.push(item);
}
}
// display result
document.write(JSON.stringify(output));
And, using some more modern functionality:
var input = {
"fruit" : ["mango","orange"],
"veg" : ["carrot"]
};
var output = Object.keys(input).map(function(key) {
return {type: key, name: input[key]};
});
// display the result
document.write(JSON.stringify(output));
