[jQuery] [autocomplete] send a json object?

[arnoldroa]

Hi, i need to send a json object to the autocompleter. i see this
example on the demo:

        $("#thickboxEmail").autocomplete(emails, {
                minChars: 0,
                width: 310,
                matchContains: true,
                highlightItem: false,
                formatItem: function(row, i, max, term) {
                        return row.name.replace(new RegExp("(" + term + ")", 
"gi"),
"<strong>$1</strong>") + "<br><span style='font-size: 80%;'>Email:
&lt;" + row.to + "&gt;</span>";
                },
                formatResult: function(row) {
                        return row.to;
                }
        });

the emails object var is a object, so

emails = {name: 'aasdfasd', to: 'asdfqweqwe'}

i need just that, the problem is that my mail is on a mysql DB. i dont
want to send a "one item per line". i want to send a json object. is
there anyway?
