sending js array of objects to servlet using jquery ajax

Question

here's how the array looks like:

A[0] = { time, data[lon, lat], type }
...
A[n]

I want to send A to a servlet using jquery ajax and be able to have the same object on the servlet so I can access values like A[0].data[0].lat

I am wondering what is the best approach, I'm not a programmer and I've been searching and trying for a few days!

I recommend using JSON: On the server side, use one of the JSON libraries listed on http://www.json.org.

On the client-side (jQuery), you'd want something like this:

var myData = JSON.stringify(A);
$.post('myurl.html', myData, function(data) {
    //success function
});

You could also use $.get if that works for you
