Pushing Sub-array to JavaScript array

I'm trying to use JS to build a JSON array that looks very much like this: 

{  
   "someKey":"someValue",
   "lines":{  
         "1": {
            "someKey": "someValue"
         },
         "2" {
            "someKey": "someValue"
         },
   }

}

Here's my JavaScript:

var myArray = {
    someKey: "someValue",
    lines: []
};


var count = 0;  

$('.class_that_exists_twice').each(function() {

count ++;           

    myArray.lines[count] = {
    someKey: "someValue",
    };

});

However, the array that is returned looks wrong. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? (Please let me know if I should post the array as well)

Thank you very much!

In the first JSON lines is an object. If you want to get your JSON to look like that you could do this:

var myArray = {
    someKey: "someValue",
    lines: {}
};

$('.class_that_exists_twice').each(function(index, obj) {         
    myArray.lines[index] = {
        someKey: "someValue",
    };
});

What you are trying to create is not an array but an object. So it should be like this:

var myArray = {
  someKey: "someValue",
  lines: {}
};

The rest looks fine
