I am facing a challenge with converting an array into JSON format. The array, named classProfiles, has the following structure (seen after inspecting console output):
Buildings_clear: Array(0)
band1: [Min: 24, Max: 24, Mean: 24, Median: 24, StdDev: 0]
band2: [Min: 22, Max: 23, Mean: 22.5, Median: 22.5, StdDev: 0.5]
(...)
__proto__: Array(0)
Grass_clear: Array(0)
band1: [Min: 17, Max: 24, Mean: 18.61764705882353, Median: 17, StdDev: 2.70092256441423]
band2: [Min: 13, Max: 21, Mean: 15.441176470588236, Median: 14, StdDev: 2.6030657996088817]
(...)
__proto__: Array(0)
Soil_clear: Array(0)
band1: [Min: 24, Max: 24, Mean: 24, Median: 24, StdDev: 0]
band2: [Min: 26, Max: 28, Mean: 27, Median: 27, StdDev: 0.816496580927726]
(...)
__proto__: Array(0)
length: 0
__proto__: Array(0)
Checking typeof classProfiles in the console returns "object".
However, attempting to convert the array directly to JSON with:
var classProfilesJSON = JSON.stringify(classProfiles)
... results in classProfilesJSON being displayed as "[]".
To address this issue, I tried using jQuery to first convert the array into an object:
var classProfilesObject = $.extend({},classProfiles)
var classProfilesJSON = JSON.stringify(classProfilesObject)
This approach led to classProfilesJSON appearing as:
"{\"Grass_clear\":[],\"Buildings_clear\":[],\"Soil_clear\":[]}"
I am puzzled by this inconsistency. How can I successfully convert this array into a complete and usable JSON format while preserving all the keys and values?
