pivot-keyvalues 

pivot an array of keys and value entries into actual objects.

Example: [{name: 'url', value: 'https://d3js.org'}] → {url: 'https://d3js.org'}

Why

Converting arrays of keys / values into objects has the following benefits:

* values can be looked up by key, instead of having to iterate through the array (likely multiple times).
* the data structure is more compact.
