Array to json using javascript

Question

I am trying to pass an array through jQuery's ajax. The problem is that when I try to pass the array created in JavaScript to JSON, it returns something empty. I even try console.log, but when I try to convert it to JSON there is nothing. Here is a representation of how I do it:

var data = [];
data['name'] = 'test';
data['mail'] = 'test';
data['pass'] = 'test';
console.log(JSON.stringify(data)); // result []

It appears that you're mistaking an "associative array" (read: object) for an array. — zzzzBov, Nov 06 '18 at 19:52

Every array is an object. You are assigning object properties with the data['name'] = 'test' syntax. Arrays are indexed with integers and they "must" be in sequence. try a[0] = 'foo'. or Array.push
