    {
        "number":"REST 001",
        "short_description":"hi there",
        "state":"1"
    },{
        "number":"REST 002"
    }
]

// Define in loops
var incArray = []; // Empty array
while(something) {
    // Build the array of objects
    var incDetails = {};
    incDetails.number = something.number.toString();
    incDetails.priority = something.priority.getDisplayValue();
    incDetails.shortDesc = something.short_description.toString();
    incArray.push(incDetails);
