Js standard object(An Array with string as key) as ajax post data is not working

Question

I have an associative array

var order = [];
order['id'] = 1266;
order['customer'] = [];
order['customer']["firstName"] = "John";
order['customer']["lastName"] = "Doe";
order['customer']["age"] = 46;

I want to send this array as data into my ajax call

$.ajax({
     url : 'http:example.com',
     method : 'post',
     dataType : 'json',
     data : order,
     success : function() {
     }
})

Ajax are calling my url properly but sending empty data. I have tried

JSON.stringify(order)
data : {'order' : order}
data : {'order' : JSON.stringify(order)}

But none of these are working

Thank you a lot for andrewdupont.net/2006/05/18/… article that properly clarify me why we should not use associative array. — Vicky charanpahari

You just need to change the array to object. Instead of var order = []; use var order = {};

He should be using an object for this too: order['customer'] = {};
