String Holding Array of objects?? Is it possible?

Can a String hold Array Object? May be this question could be silly? Just wanted to k开发者_Python百科now...

No. You cannot extend strings beyond adding methods to String.prototype.

For example:

> var x = 'foo'
  undefined
> x
  "foo"
> x.bar = 4
  4
> x
  "foo"
> x.bar
  undefined

If you serialize (ie turn the object into a string) then yes a string can hold an array object. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialization

A string can just "hold" characters - that's what a String is.

Of course, those characters could denote a stringified representation of an array of objects, such as the string [1, "two", MyCoolClass(5, 8.0)]. But that would just be some quasi-arbitrary encoding, and you'd have to do some work to convert it back again (see JSON for a real-world example).

So the short answer is "no", but the real answer would be to ask for clarification of what it is you mean...

---

In theory yes, you could probably encode a set of objects into a string. Using JSON and a little bit of string acrobatics.

It would wind up looking like this

"{ field: var ... },...,{ field: var ... }"

or something like that.

You can use array referencing on strings, to access a specific letter:

a = "hello world"
a[0] // == 'h'
a[1] // == 'e'

use JSON.stringify(arrayToStringiFy)
