Want to convert this

var temp = [
  { 
    "name" : "apple", 
    "value" : "A for apple"
  },
  { 
    "name" : "ball", 
    "value" : "B for ball"
  }, 
  { 
    "name" : "cat", 
    "value" : "C for cat"
  }
]

to

{
  apple: "A for apple", 
  ball: "B for ball", 
  cat: "C for cat"
}

?

Here's how you can do it with underscores.js

temp = _.object(_.map(temp, function(x){return [x.name, x.value]}))
