push variables into object [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to push my variables into this object but not sure how todo this the proper way:

The jsonArray if manually inputted looks like so:

jsonArray = { "Person 1": ["Address Rd. City", "777 Street Ave. City"], "Person 2": ["Address2 Rd. City2", "777 Street Ave. City"] }

I have a loop in which I want to push variables into the jsonArray and i'm trying like so:

 var jsonArray = {}; for (var i = 0....my loop, etc)... jsonArray.push({fullname: [address, destination]});

This doesn't work, jsonArray always shows as {} when i JSON.stringify(jsonArray)

jsonArray is neither JSON, nor an Array.

jsonArray — despite the misleading name — is actually an object so try instead

 for (...) { jsonArray[fullname] = [address, destination]; }

push is a method of Array.prototype. So change the first line to

var jsonArray = []; // array literal

Also declare it like

jsonArray = [ ["Address Rd. City", "777 Street Ave. City"], ["Address2 Rd. City2", "777 Street Ave. City"] ]; // you can use indexes to get the elements

this is technically correct but you lose the reference between a person and his address and the capability to use the person as an index
