you use this:
data = [{ "form_key" : "basicpatientname", "data" : "miranda jones", "cid" : 2, "pid" : 1, "no" : "0" }, { "form_key" : "basicpatientgender", "data" : "1", "cid" : 4, "pid" : 1, "no" : "0" } ]; var result = {}; data.foreach(function (rec) { result[rec.form_key] = rec.data; }); // output result console.log(result); // example look-up use: var data = result.basicpatientname; // = miranda jones
