Convert array of elements to array of JSON objects

Can't find help on this anywhere

I have an array -

var myArray = [1,2,3]

But I need this to become -

[{"val" : 1, "checked" : false}, {"val" : 2, "checked" : false},{"val" : 3, "checked" : false}]

How is this done?

Try this: 

var myArray = [1, 2, 3];
var jsonText = [];
for (i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
    jsonText[i] = {};
    jsonText[i].val = myArray[i];
    jsonText[i].checked = false;
}
JSON.stringify(jsonText);

{'val' = 1, 'checked' = false} is not a valid JSON format since key and value should be separated by a colon : not =, it should be {"val" : 1, "checked" : false}

Try with the below,

var newArray = myArray.map( function(value){
   return {"val" : value, "checked" : false};
} )
