convert JSON array of key value pairs to JSON Array of strings in Javascript

Question

so i have a JSON Object [{"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"},{"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"}]

and i essentially need to remove the keys so the output looks like [["val1","val2"],["val1","val2"]] in Javascript.

short of iterating through the array and then iterating through all the properties and mapping to a new JSON object is there any way i can remove the keys from the object, and turn the values in to a list in an array?

please no string splicing/ regex.

Thanks.

Does the order of the array elements matter? Is it OK if it's [["val2", "val1"], ["val1", "val2"]]? — Barmar

yes it does but the accepted answer by @BrunoLM does preserve order. — OOPMichael

No it doesn't, since the objects themselves don't preserve order. — Barmar

ahhh you are correct, thanks!@ i didn't notice it, b/c the first few arrays contained the same keyed data. — OOPMichael

Using ES2015 (ES6)

const arr = [{"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"},{"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"}]
var newArr=arr.map(o => Object.values(o));

console.log(newArr);

If you still need old browser support--pre ES6

var arr = [{"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"},{"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"}];

arr = arr.map(function(o){
   var a = [];
   for(var i in o){
      a.push(o[i])
   }
   return a;
});
console.log(arr);

You need to loop over the object and make new arrays.

for (var i = 0; i < yourobject.length; i++) {
    var myArray = [];
    for (var key in yourobject) {
         myArray.push(yourobject[key]
    }
    console.log(myArray)
}

This should do it:

const arr = [{"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"},{"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"}];

const newArr = arr.map(obj => Object.values(obj));
