jQuery get multiple class name and convert them to an array

Suppose I have an element look likes

<div class="amy mary peter john tom">abc</div>

I will use the jQuery to get the class name

var classname = $(div).attr('class');

Since the result is "amy mary peter john tom", how can I convert this string to array?

Somethings likes var classname = ["amy", "mary", "peter", "john", "tom"];

Thanks

Use the string split function:

var classname = $('div').attr('class').split(/\s+/);
