create JSON object in jquery, to many objects are created

Question

I have the following code that collects all information from a RSS feed, and takes out the information I need:

$(xml).find('item').each(function() {
    var stage = $(this).attr('p4:stage');
    var title = $(this).find('title').text();
    var desc = $(this).find('description').text();
    var location = $(this).find('category').eq[0];
    var billtype = $(this).find('category').eq[1];
    var linkurl = $(this).find('link').text();
    var thedate = $(this).find('a10\\:updated,updated').text();
    thedate = thedate.substring(0,10);

    info.push({'stage': stage},{'title': title},{'description': desc},{'location': location},{'billtype': billtype},{'linkurl': linkurl},{'thedate':thedate});


});

 console.log(info);

But when I look at what is being sent, its not 1 object with 5 children, each child representing a <item>....contents.....</item>, but one object with over 200 children, each one containing one part of the <item></item>, such as:

  [0 … 99]
    0: Object
      stage: "Committee stage"
      __proto__: Object
    1: Object
      title: "Mesothelioma"
      __proto__: Object
    2: Object
       description: "A Bill to establish a diffuse mesothelioma payments scheme and make related provision, and to make provision about the resolution of certain insurance disputes."
     __proto__: Object

Could someone help with the code, so I can get whatever number of rss feed items and it's contents to be a child ?

Thanks in advance

info is an array and you're pushing 7 objects into it for each 'item'. — MasNotsram

I suspect you meant to do something like this: info.push({'stage': stage,'title': title,'description': desc,'location': location,'billtype': billtype,'linkurl': linkurl,'thedate':thedate}); — MasNotsram

you have to define "info" as array and then use the below code to push the items in rows. info[i].push(...) — skparwal

@MasNotsram, yes you have to make the info as multi-dim array — skparwal

To place them in one object with 5 properties replace push function with:

info.push({
    'stage': stage,
    'title': title,
    'description': desc,
    'location': location,
    'billtype': billtype,
    'linkurl': linkurl,
    'thedate':thedate
})

I think what you need is, one object to be added to info array for each item element in the xml with the properties stage, title, description, location, billtype, linkurl and thedate

info.push({
    'stage' : stage,
    'title' : title,
    'description' : desc,
    'location' : location,
    'billtype' : billtype,
    'linkurl' : linkurl,
    'thedate' : thedate
});
