HTML Table to JSON

Question

I need to take table rows and convert to JSON.

Any ideas? I have this code here but it does not work.

function tableToJSON(tableID) {     return $(tableID + "  tr").map(function (row) {         return row.descendants().pluck("innerHTML");     }).toJSON(); } 

Answer 1

function tableToJson(table) {     var data = [];      // first row needs to be headers     var headers = [];     for (var i=0; i<table.rows[0].cells.length; i++) {         headers[i] = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML.toLowerCase().replace(/ /gi,'');     }      // go through cells     for (var i=1; i<table.rows.length; i++) {          var tableRow = table.rows[i];         var rowData = {};          for (var j=0; j<tableRow.cells.length; j++) {              rowData[ headers[j] ] = tableRow.cells[j].innerHTML;          }          data.push(rowData);     }             return data; }
