Converting a JSON object to array? Read description [duplicate]

Question

my server upon request, serves JSON from a node mysql query, but only the names row. Example:

{
"Name": "Charles"
}, etc.

How can I, get the value of Name and put it into an array? say I have this,

  [
 {
  "Name": "Charles"
 },
 {
  "Name": "Alex"
 }
  ]

how can I get, Charles and Alex, into an array?

Like:

Names = ["Charles", "Alex]?

Doesn't seem to be converting object to an array. This looks like a question of how to parse json and then how to map that json to pluck a field from all the objects — Atreys

You can make use of the map function. The map method creates a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in this array. In your case, you need to select only the Name.

var arr = [
 {
  "Name": "Charles"
 },
 {
  "Name": "Alex"
 }];
  
var names = arr.map(x=>x.Name)
console.log(names);
