Generating Json

Question

I am trying to generate the following with Coldfusion to pass that as a json object to JS.

[
  {
    key: "Final List",
    values: [
      { 
        "label": "Title I",
        "value" : 33
      } , 
      { 
        "label": "Title II",
        "value" : 33
      } 
    ]
  }

I have:

postObject["KEY"] = "Final List";

postObject["VALUES"] = [];

postObject.values[1] = {'label':"Title I", 'value':"33"};

postObject.values[2] = {'label':"Title II", 'value':"35"};

serializeJSON(postObject);

The result I get is a bit different:

{"VALUES":[{"value":33,"label":"Title I"},{"value":35,"label":"Title II"},
"key":"Final List"}

Any help appreciated...

Keep result(postObject) in an array. Javascript is case sensitive so its better to use structinsert in that case

resultArray = ArrayNew(1);

structInsert(postObject, "key", "Final List");

structInsert(postObject, "values", "");

TEMPvalues = ArrayNew(1);

TEMPvalues [1] = {'label':"Title I", 'value':"33"};

TEMPvalues [2] = {'label':"Title II", 'value':"35"};

postObject.values = TEMPvalues;

resultArray[1] = postObject;

serializeJSON(resultArray);
