Convert array of objects into object

Question

Trying to work with Mapael Jquery plugin. Plugin need object to draw a map elements.

My PHP code return json encoded array of objects:

[{
    "Aveiro":{
        "latitude":40.6443,
        "longitude":-8.6455,
        "value":10,
        "tooltip":{
            "content":"test"
         }
    }
 },{
    "Lisbon":{
        "latitude":38.7167,
        "longitude":-9.1333,
        "value":10,
        "tooltip":{
            "content":"test"
        }
    }
 },{
    "Entroncamento":{
        "latitude":39.2333,
        "longitude":-9.0833,
        "value":10,
        "tooltip":{
            "content":"test"
        }
    }
 }]

If I parse this array thru json.parse I will receive object with numeric keys, in my example [0]->[Aveiro],[1]->[Lisbon],[2]->[Entroncamento].

How it possible to have object with keys [Aveiro],[Lisbon],[Entroncamento] without array indexes?

If I return only one object - I receive object with named key and everything works just fine.

you have access to edit the php code? if so then share the code which builds that array — Cerlin

@metamarket I think you are looking for $array = (array) $yourObject;. That will give you associative array. — CAPS LOCK

You can reduce the array given by JSON.parse to a single object:

var result = parsed.reduce(function (output, value) {
    return $.extend(output, value);
}, {});
