How to convert a JSON array into a JSON object in JavaScript or jQuery?

Question

How do I convert a JSON array into a JSON object. For example, I have created a variable which holds a JSON array:

[{  "Bank Account Name": "State Bank",
    "Currency Code": "4000",
    "Deposit Date": "5/2/1794",
    "Payment Channel": "check"}]

How do I convert it into a JSON object with entities as a JSON object which look like this:

{"Entities ":[{  "Bank Account Name": "State Bank",
        "Currency Code": "4000",
        "Deposit Date": "5/2/1794",
        "Payment Channel": "check"}]
}

Is there a way to do this? I tried Stringify and parse.

When you say what you tried, please post some code. That way we can show you exactly why your code isn't doing what you want it to. Even better, you can create a fiddle, so we can test your code. — Matt Way

Is this really a question ? var newObj = {Entities: oldObj} — amd

i see no json. JSON is a string, representing a serialized object. — Nina Scholz

var array = [{  "Bank Account Name": "State Bank",
    "Currency Code": "4000",
    "Deposit Date": "5/2/1794",
    "Payment Channel": "check"}];

var obj = {"Entities" : array};

console.log(obj);

var original  = [{  "Bank Account Name": "State Bank",
"Currency Code": "4000",
"Deposit Date": "5/2/1794",
"Payment Channel": "check"}];

var newValue = JSON.stringify({Entities:[original[0]]});

console.log(newValue);
//{"Entities":[{"Bank Account Name":"State Bank","Currency Code":"4000","Deposit Date":"5/2/1794","Payment Channel":"check"}]}

Why [original[0]] ?

You're right, var newValue = JSON.stringify({Entities:original}); would work just as well :)

Simply wrap it:

var array = [{  "Bank Account Name": "State Bank",
    "Currency Code": "4000",
    "Deposit Date": "5/2/1794",
    "Payment Channel": "check"}];

var jsonObject = {"Entities":array};
