collapseLib

Library to collapse an multi-level object into one level object, using dot notation

Note

This script isn't mine. I just took it from this gist made by alabid

Example use:

var object = {
   "dict1key": {
   	"dict2key": [
   		{
   			"dict3key": {
   				"tell":"me"
   			}
   		}
   	]
   },
   "dict4key": {
   	"dict5key": {
   		"dict6key": "hi!",
   		"dict7key": "how are you?"
   	}
   }
};

var objectCollapsed = CollapseLib.collapseDict(object);

Results in:

{
	"dict1key.dict2key.[0].dict3key.tell": "me",
	"dict4key.dict5key.dict6key": "hi!",
	"dict4key.dict5key.dict7key": "how are you?"
}
