Dealing With Weird APIs in JavaScript...

Have you used the fromEntries function before?

The fact that I haven't had the misfortune of using an API that returns object entries should be considered a scientific proof that god exists

I've been scratching my head over nested arrays and your short comes by 😂

Brother if I am stuck using an API that returns 2-item arrays as a substitute for key-value pairs I am ditching that API and writing my own

Nice solution for a problem that shouldn't exist anyway

Also: const map = new Map(entries)
The Map() constructor directly accepts an entries array. In my view, it’s a more natural transformation. It also preserves the order of the original array.

And this is why javascript is really cool. I don't like it for much, but it brilliantly handles data structure transformations.

calling them “nested arrays” is a bit misleading, they’re tuples and can be strictly typed like `[string, number]` whereas an array would need to be `(string | number)[]`. but still good point overall

Never seen any api gives these kind of data. If the api creator is weird and don't have any knowledge about JSON then maybe it's possible.

+1 thing to my current JS knowledge which is console.log(); 😂😂

[LewisMoten]

And what happens if two entries have the same key?

I'm Connor, the return value sent by a god forsaken API

Why u constructing this like that in the first place its weird practice

So Array is list, obj is dict in python
I dont know java hurray 😂
