javascript - get one item from an array of name,value JSON

Question

I have this array:

var arr = [];
arr.push({name:"k1", value:"abc"});
arr.push({name:"k2", value:"hi"});
arr.push({name:"k3", value:"oa"});

is it possible to do get the value or a specific element by knowing the name ?

something like this:

arr['k2'].value

or

arr.get('k1')

I know this question is old, but no one has mentioned a native solution yet. If you're not trying to support archaic browsers (which you shouldn't be at this point), you can use array.filter:

var arr = [];
arr.push({name:"k1", value:"abc"});
arr.push({name:"k2", value:"hi"});
arr.push({name:"k3", value:"oa"});

var found = arr.filter(function(item) { return item.name === 'k1'; });

console.log('found', found[0]);

Check the console.
