Jquery convert array object into json

i am relatively new in Javascript and jquery.

I have create an array of object using serializeArray() ,

var form_data = $("some_id").serializeArray();

where form_data returns data in the folliwing format,

[obj, obj, obj, obj]

where each obj contains data in this structure,

0: object
   "name": "hotel_id"
   "value": "1"

but i want it to be return in the following format,

{"hotel_id": "1"}

to do so i have tried the following code initially to either return the name or the values

var myArray = $.map(form_data, function(element) {        
   return element.value;                               
});

its only returning the values in this way,

["1"]

how can i return the result in {"name": "value"} pair.

Did you try the following?

var myArray = $.map(form_data, function(element) {        
   var elem = {};
   elem[element.name] = element.value;
   return elem;
});

You are so close, create object with property and return it.

var myArray = $.map(form_data, function(element) {   
    var ob = {};  //Create object
    ob[element.name] = element.value; //Set element property
    return ob;  
});
