You can do
var saveData = {}
for (var key) in item {saveData[key] = item[key]}
and then use saveData as data: saveData.
But you can also probably just use the item itself. AFAIK, you don't have
to stringify the data going into an $http call (I don't, at least).
So:
$http.({ ...
data: {'$set': item}
})
right?
