I have a javascript variable which is a dictionary of key-values pairs of querystring. I need to again convert this dictionary into a query string. I am using jquery.param functin but it takes either an array or an object. How can I convert my dictinoary variable to array/object which jquery.params can accept.

Tried using serializeArray but it does not work.

The jQuery.param method can take an array i in this form:

[{ name: 'asdf', value: '42' },{ name: 'qwerty', value: '1337' }]

If your dictionary have other property names, you can use the jQuery.map method to convert it. Example:

arr = $.map(arr, function(e){

  return { name: e.key, value: e.val };

});
