Output to an object array

I can I output this loop to an object? I think this is my issue with JSON not being able to parse this out in a client script.

The loop is just combining the results from "prop" and "variable" into an array.

 

    getReqFields: function() {
        var item = this.getParameter('sysparm_request');
        var reqTable = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
        reqTable.addQuery('sys_id', item);
        reqTable.query();

        if (reqTable.next()) {

            var str = [];

            for (var prop in reqTable.variables) {
                if (reqTable.variables.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
                    var variable = reqTable.variables[prop];
					
                    str.push('\"' + prop + '\":\"' + variable + '\"');
                }
            }
	
		return JSON.stringify(newStr);

        }
    },

Trying the below doesn't provide the variable data. I thought I could simply combine the results into an array and then try to reparse it. 

str.push(prop);
str.push(variable);

Hi,

I would recommend doing this so that you can easily parse it later

getReqFields: function() {
        var item = this.getParameter('sysparm_request');
        var reqTable = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');
        reqTable.addQuery('sys_id', item);
        reqTable.query();

        if (reqTable.next()) {

            var str = [];

            for (var prop in reqTable.variables) {
                if (reqTable.variables.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
                    var variable = reqTable.variables[prop];
		    var obj = {};
                    obj["prop"] = prop.toString();
                    obj["variable"] = variable.toString();
                    str.push(obj);			
                    
                }
            }
	
		return JSON.stringify(str);

        }
    },

There's a token error. It doesn't like the colon.

var obj = {}:

Replace : with ;

Hi,

mistake in my script; it should be semicolon and not colon

so use ; and not :
