How do I send an array of hashes as a parameter in a jQuery.get() request?

I have an array of hashes in Javascript, which I need to send as a parameter in a jQuery.get() request. I've tried this:

$.get('../notes/notes_temp_path',{temp_param:notes_array}, function(data) {
    console.log("done");                
});

but the server doesn't get the temp_param parameter. What do I need to do? Thanks for reading.

EDIT:

If I do

for (index in notes_array) {
    console.log(notes_array[index]);
}
console.log(window.JSON.stringify(notes_array));

I get

[ ]
 note_name    "note1"
[ ]
 note_name    "note2"
[[],[]]

The server receives this as well:

"temp_param"=>"[[],[]]"

Best practice would be to json'ize the array.

$.get('../notes/notes_temp_path',{temp_param: window.JSON.stringify(notes_array)}, function(data) {
    console.log("done");                
});

whatever serverside language you use, you need to parse that JSON-string and use it further.
