I have this array containing strings with geographical data.
How can i turn it into an array of objects like this:
obj[0] = {lat:0, lng:0}

From where comes from this array? Cannot you change it server side?A. Wolff– A. Wolff2015-08-13 17:21:29 +00:00Commented Aug 13, 2015 at 17:21

Try to use array.prototype.map to ease your work,
var newArray = arr.map(function(str){
return JSON.parse("{" + str.substring(0,str.length - 1).replace(/lat/,'"lat"').replace(/lng/,'"lng"') + "}")
});
As well as, if you have the string in that array in a proper format, then some unnecessary .replace() can be removed which will results in performance boost.

You can do this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script>
var data = ["lat: 0, lng: 0;", "lat: 25.233, lng:22.455;"];
var newData = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
{
var temp = data[i].replace(/lat/g, "\"lat\"");
temp = temp.replace(/lng/g, "\"lng\"");
temp = temp.replace(/;/g, "");
temp = "{" + temp + "}";
newData.push(JSON.parse(temp));
}
console.log(newData);
</script>
</body>
</html>
