/* my some stuff */
var callBackString= new Array();
                        callBackString['value1']=value1;
                        callBackString['value2']= value2;
                        callBackString['value3']= value3;
                        callback(null,callBackString);

• javascript
• node.js

• 2 Try to use var callBackString = {}. You are using your array like an object, so make it one. When you serialize the array with JSON.stringify() those non-array properties get lost. – Sirko Commented Nov 3, 2014 at 9:35
• Typo at stringify? You omitted an n there. – nalply Commented Nov 3, 2014 at 10:23

You should use an object instead:

function myfunction(i, callback) {
  var callBackString = {};
  callBackString.value1 = value1;
  callBackString.value2 = value2;
  callBackString.value3 = value3;
  callback(null, callBackString);
}

Then the receiving end:

myfunction(i, function(err, result) {
  var value1 = result.value1;
  var value2 = result.value2;
  var value3 = result.value3;

  console.log(JSON.parse(JSON.strigify(result)));   
});

The following should work:

function myfunction(i, callback) {
  // ...
  // Returns an Array
  return callback(null, [value1, value2, value3])
}

function myfunction2(i, callback) {
  // ...
  // Returns an Object
  return callback(null, {value1: value1, value2: value2, value3: value3})
}

Try this

Hope it works

myfunction(i,function(err,value1,value2,value3){
  console.log(JSON.parse(JSON.strigify(result)));   
 ****//i need value here..****


});


function myfunction(i,callback) {
/* my some stuff */
var callBackString= new Array();
                        callBackString['value1']=value1;
                        callBackString['value2']= value2;
                        callBackString['value3']= value3;
                        callback(null,value1,value2,value3);

};
