Convert HTML Table to JSON Array

ConvertHtmlTableToJsonArray.js

// Make sure to rename the object fields
// Table's header gets ignored

var tbl = $('table#tableToConvert tr:has(td)').map(function(i, v) {
    var $td =  $('td', this)
        return {
                 wkid: $td.eq(0).text(),
                  name: $td.eq(1).text()
               }
}).get();
$('#result').html(JSON.stringify(tbl));

// Sample HTML snippet

//    <table id="tableToConvert" cellspacing="0">
//        <thead>
//            <tr>
//                <th class="tableheader">Well-known ID</th>
//                <th class="tableheader">Name</th>
//            </tr>
//        </thead>
