Javascript accessing name/value pairs

Question

I'm getting JSON name/value pairs that looks like this:

{
   "Name":"parentid",
   "Value":"blah"
},
{
   "Name":"siteid",
   "Value":"blah"
},
{
   "Name":"sitename",
   "Value":"blah"
}

But I would like to access the "name" value as the KEY, and the "value" value as the VALUE. Is there an elegant way to turn that piece of JSON into something like this?

{'parentid', 'blah'},
{'sitename', 'blah'}

Try this:

var items = [
    {
       "Name":"parentid",
       "Value":"blah"
    },
    {
       "Name":"siteid",
       "Value":"blah"
    },
    {
       "Name":"sitename",
       "Value":"blah"
    }
];

var results = new Object();

for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
{
    results[items[i].Name] = items[i].Value;
}

This will result in something like:

var results = { parentid: "Blah", siteid: "Blah", sitename: "Blah" };
