In javascript how can we identify whether an object is a Hash or an Array?

by

Modern browsers support the Array.isArray(obj) method.

See MDN for documentation and a polyfill.

you can use the constuctor property of your output: 

if(output.constructor == Array){
}
else if(output.constructor == Object){
}
