store json into an array

Question

[["January 2016", "February 2016", "March 2016", "April 2016", "May 2016", "June 2016"], ["person1", 23274, 24470, 44140, 74651, 42538, 23076], ["person2", 2390, 14333, 9480, 15387, 15006, 4941], ..

Hi, how would I go about storing this Json into an array if arrays in Javascript? Not sure how to do this.

Thanks!

That is not valid JSON. It is, in fact, several arrays. Do you want to take those arrays and turn them into JSON or something? — sbeliv01, Jun 13 '16 at 14:36

Do you really want to store raw unparsed JSON into an array? If we leave JSON apart, do you know how to store e.g. anything else in an array? — Álvaro González, Jun 13 '16 at 14:37
@sbeliv01 It is valid JSON (if you ignore the truncation added by the OP). — BenM, Jun 13 '16 at 14:38

Assuming you're receiving the data as a string, you can use JSON.parse():

var str = '[["January 2016", "February 2016", "March 2016", "April 2016", "May 2016", "June 2016"], ["person1", 23274, 24470, 44140, 74651, 42538, 23076], ["person2", 2390, 14333, 9480, 15387, 15006, 4941]...';

var myArr = JSON.parse( str );

It's already a JSON. Example in Javascript:

var arrayOfArrays = [["elem1","elem2"], ["elem3","elem4"]]

JSON.stringify(arrayOfArrays) 

response: "[["elem1","elem2"],["elem3","elem4"]]"

JSON.parse('[["elem1","elem2"],["elem3","elem4"]]') 
response: [Array[2], Array[2]]

JSON.parse('[["January 2016", "February 2016", "March 2016", "April 2016", "May 2016", "June 2016"], ["person1", 23274, 24470, 44140, 74651, 42538, 23076], ["person2", 2390, 14333, 9480, 15387, 15006, 4941]]')
