How to merge two json objects?

Question

Object 1:

var string1 = {
    "jobroleid": "1",
    "technologyid": "1",
    "jobrole": "SOFTWARE DEVELOPER",
    "technology": "DOTNET",
    "yoc": [],
    "degree": [],
    "gender": ["Female"],
    "credit": [],
    "minqp": "6",
    "maxqp": "7"
};

Object 2:

var string2={'name':'hai'};

How can I merge the two objects?

Expected output:

[{
    "jobroleid": "1",
    "technologyid": "1",
    "jobrole": "SOFTWARE DEVELOPER",
    "technology": "DOTNET",
    "yoc": [],
    "degree": [],
    "gender": ["Female"],
    "credit": [],
    "minqp": "6",
    "maxqp": "7",
    "name": "hai"
}]

Your string1 is not string but an array and string2 is object. Are they actual string you mean ? — Vigneswaran Marimuthu, Apr 27 '15 at 12:20

You should have a look at [data-types](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures) in javascript. Your `strings` are `objects` and the expected output is an `array` containing an `object` — empiric, Apr 27 '15 at 12:49

You can use the jQuery.extend method:

var combined = []; 
combined.push($.extend({},string1,string2));
