How to form JavaScript object array?

Question

I want to create a JavasScript array in following format:

var datas = [
    { name: "Peter Pan", location: "[email protected]" },
    { name: "Molly", location: "[email protected]" },
    { name: "Forneria Marconi", location: "[email protected]" },
    { name: "Master <em>Sync</em>", location: "[email protected]" }
];

As I want to create it dynamically, It would be great if I can create an array like that.

That code you posted does create a JavaScript array. What do you mean "dynamically"? — Matthew Gilliard, Jun 14 '13 at 11:43

You just did it.

But if you mean adding objects one at a time you can do

var datas = [];

and then

newobj = //dynamically created object

datas.push(newobj);

you will need to change this to fit your data results

 var arr = [];
    var b = 20; // or your data results
    for(i=0;i<b;i++){
        var obj = {name: "Peter Pan", location: "[email protected]"};
    arr.push(obj);
    }

var data = [];
data.push({ name: "Peter Pan", location: "[email protected]" },
    { name: "Molly", location: "[email protected]" },
    { name: "Forneria Marconi", location: "[email protected]" },
    { name: "Master <em>Sync</em>", location: "[email protected]" });

If you are receiving the object from some service, just call data.push(objectName);. You will have array of objects.

Fiddle for you. http://jsfiddle.net/q69ku/
