title: Javascript Object to Array
body: <p>I'm having some problems with converting some JSON and I'm after some help.  This is my problem, I have JSON returned the following:</p>
  
  <p>Example of the JSON recieved (from a CSV file):</p>
  
  <pre><code>[
      {
          "rating": "0",
          "title": "The Killing Kind",
          "author": "John Connolly",
          "type": "Book",
          "asin": "0340771224",
          "tags": "",
          "review": "i still haven't had time to read this one..."
      },
      {
          "rating": "0",
          "title": "The Third Secret",
          "author": "Steve Berry",
          "type": "Book",
          "asin": "0340899263",
          "tags": "",
          "review": "need to find time to read this book"
      },
  
      cut for brevity   
  
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, this is a one dimensional array of objects, but I have a function that I need to pass this to that will ONLY take a multidimensional array.  There's nothing I can change on this.  I've been looking around the web for conversion and came across this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (! obj.length) { return [];} // length must be set on the object, or it is not iterable  
     var a = [];  
  
     try {  
         a = Array.prototype.slice.call(obj, n);  
     }  
     // IE 6 and posssibly other browsers will throw an exception, so catch it and use brute force  
     catch(e) {  
         Core.batch(obj, function(o, i) {  
             if (n &lt;= i) {  
                 a[i - n] = o;  
             }  
         });  
     }  
  
     return a;  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But my code keeps getting stuck on the "no object length" part.  When I iterate through each object, I get character by character.  Unfortunately, those field names (rating, title, author), etc are not set in stone and I can't access anything using the obj.Field notation.</p>
  
  <p>I'm stuck on this; is there a way to convert those objects into arrays, or do I have to go back to the beginning and dump JSON?</p>
