Underscore.js - Map Array of key/value pairs to an Object - One liner

Question

I've been going through the underscore docs but I can't seem to find a method (or nested method call) to do the following transformation:

Let's say I have the following Javascript array:

 [{ "name" : "sEcho", "value" : 1},{ "name" : "iColumns", "value" : 12}, ... ] 

And I need to transform it into the following object:

 {       sEcho: 1,       iColumns: 12,       ...  } 

I'm using underscore.js for a reason so it must be a one liner.

Variation on Sza's answer, using the "array of pairs" signature of _.object:

_.object(_.map(data, function(x){return [x.name, x.value]}))
