How can I load a regular array from a JSON Response like this:

{"project":"8","powerline":"188.396496","road":"7.876766","cost":"69885005.45"}

to

var cars = [8, 188.396496, 7.876766, 69885005.45];

I already tried something like this:

req.done(function(data) {
var cars = JSON.parse(data);
});

but it is not doing the job.

You can simply run a for..in loop like this. and keep pushing the values into a new array.

var obj = {
    "project" : "8",
    "powerline" : "188.396496",
    "road" : "7.876766",
    "cost" : "69885005.45"
}

var arr = [];
for (var key in obj) {
    var val = parseFloat("0" + obj[key]);
    arr.push(val)
}

Hi rajub, thanks for reply but as I already mentioned I am getting the JSON from a Ajax request so how I can use your approach?
You want to fetch array instead of JSON from ajax? then will have to do on server side
besides, it is loading the keys as STRING into the array. Is there any way to force them be populate as Numbers like 8 instead of "8"

You can manipulate JSON object as Array, please try this way

req.done(function(data) {
 var cars = $.map(JSON.parse(data), function(value, index){
   return i;
});
 console.log(cars);
});

Hi Girish, Thanks for reply but this is not functioning,

That's because you're getting an object when you're calling JSON.parse. You can run the following to get the values without keys:

req.done(function (data) {
    var jsonData = JSON.parse(data),
        cars = []

    for (var key in jsonData) {
        cars.push(jsonData[key])
    }
})
