javascript multidimentional array to json string

Question

I have the following html/jquery snippet

Basically it consists of some div that are editable. When button is pressed, the data is parsed and packaged as a javascript array with the name json. My wish is to turn the javascript array named json into a valid json string. I can see my array but JSON.stringify does not work properly for the array created.

Thank you for any help rendered

$('#presend_btn').click(function() {
  event.preventDefault();

    var json = [];
    var innercount=0;
    
  $('#reporting-agent-data').each(function() {
    var tmpdiv = $(this).find('.agent-data');
    
    $(tmpdiv).each(function() {
    
    json[innercount] = [];
        
      var agent_id = $(this).attr('agent-id');
      console.log("agent_id: " + agent_id);
      var r_name = $(this).find('.r-name').text();
      var r_relation = $(this).find('.r-relation').text();
      var r_phone = $(this).find('.r-phone').text();
      var r_details = $(this).find('.r-details').text();
      json[innercount]["r_name"] = r_name;
      json[innercount]["r_relation"] = r_relation;
      json[innercount]["r_phone"] = r_phone;
      json[innercount]["r_details"] = r_details;
      innercount++;
    });
    
    console.dir(json);
    var myJSON = JSON.stringify(json);
  });

});

You should be using an array of objects. Try changing json[innercount] = []; to json[innercount] = {};

$('#presend_btn').click(function() {
  event.preventDefault();

    var json = [];
    var innercount=0;
    
  $('#reporting-agent-data').each(function() {
    var tmpdiv = $(this).find('.agent-data');
    
    $(tmpdiv).each(function() {
    
    json[innercount] = {};
        
      var agent_id = $(this).attr('agent-id');
      console.log("agent_id: " + agent_id);
      var r_name = $(this).find('.r-name').text();
      var r_relation = $(this).find('.r-relation').text();
      var r_phone = $(this).find('.r-phone').text();
      var r_details = $(this).find('.r-details').text();
      json[innercount]["r_name"] = r_name;
      json[innercount]["r_relation"] = r_relation;
      json[innercount]["r_phone"] = r_phone;
      json[innercount]["r_details"] = r_details;
      innercount++;
    });
    
    console.dir(json);
    var myJSON = JSON.stringify(json);
    console.log('stringify', myJSON);
  });

});
