Question

How do I convert a JSON array:
Example1:

[{"Name":"John","Surname":"Johnson"},{"Name":"Peter","Surname":"Johnson"}]

into:
Example2:

{"Table1":[{"Name":"John","Surname":"Johnson"}, {"Name":"Peter","Surname":"Johnson"}]}

I have instances where sometimes the values I work with is in an array, and sometimes not (is it just called an object? like in second example? or do I have terminology wrong?) So I need to just add the array into an object(?) in order to be able to use the same function for both Arrays (first example) and Objects with arrays(?)(Example2)

Answer 1

So I need to just add the array into an object(?)

Yes. Also you can check if argument is an array inside your method.

var fn = function(mixed) {

    if(Object.prototype.toString.call(mixed) == '[object Array]') {
        mixed = {'Table1':mixed}
    }

    // do stuff
}
