How might I extract the property values of a JavaScript object into an array?

Question

Given a JavaScript object:

var dataObject = {    object1: {id: 1, name: "Fred"},     object2: {id: 2, name: "Wilma"},     object3: {id: 3, name: "Pebbles"} }; 

How do I efficiently extract the inner objects into an array? I do not need to maintain a handle on the object[n] IDs.

var dataArray = [     {id: 1, name: "Fred"},      {id: 2, name: "Wilma"},      {id: 3, name: "Pebbles"}] 

Answer 1

var dataArray = Object.keys(dataObject).map(function(k){return dataObject[k]});
