Save textarea value to JSON

Question

How to save the value of textarea to JSON?

I have a textarea; I need to save value of that text area into a js object.

Its working fine if there is no 'enter'(line break) pressed. How to save it and and retrieve it as such with linebreaks.

Save using

dataObject[0]["Category"][0]["Category"] = $('textarea').val();

line break in textarea is \n and there is no problem when saving it into json object — zuo, Oct 08 '13 at 07:13
So far I can only see the JavaScript array. How do you create JSON of it, and what's the result and the error? — becquerel, Oct 08 '13 at 07:16

Used this code to make it HTML

var newText = $('textarea').val(); //value
newText = newText.replace(/\r?\n/g, '<br />');

i think this code can help you !

$(document).ready(function(){
var textarea = $('textarea').val();
var linebreak = textarea.split('\n');
var length = linebreak.length;
var data = [];
for ( var i = 0 ; i<length ; i++){
    data.push({ 'line': i , 'content': linebreak[i] });
    console.log(data);
}

});
