jQuery: toArray() on objects

The jQuery's toArray() method works on DOM elements in a wrapped set and returns a plain array of them. It would be handy if such a method worked also on JavaScript objects. Unfortunately, it does not. For that reason, I've implemented a global jQuery method which takes an object and returns an array containing its properties and their corresponding values. With very poor imagination I called it toArrayFromObject(). Its code is as follows:

(function($) {

  $.toArrayFromObject = function(obj) {
  
    var arr = [];
    
    $.each(obj, function(property, value) {
    
       arr.push(property);
       arr.push(value);     
    
    
    });
  
    return arr;
  };


})(jQuery);

A simple test:

var Class = {
  type: 'Test',
  property: 'Foo'
};

alert($.toArrayFromObject(Class));
// alerts type,Test,property,Foo
