how can I convert my json string to a specific format?

Question

I have a json string:

arguments[0] = [{"one":"1","two":"1","three":"15","four":"esj","five":null,"six":"2015-10-15 00:00:00","seven":null},
{"one":"1","two":"1","three":"15","four":"esj","five":null,"six":"2015-10-15 00:00:00","seven":null},
{"one":"1","two":"1","three":"15","four":"esj","five":null,"six":"2015-10-15 00:00:00","seven":null, ...}]

and I want to change it to the format like this:

[ '1', '1', '15', 'esj', null, '2015-10-15 00:00:00', null],
[ '1', '1', '15', 'esj', null, '2015-10-15 00:00:00', null],
[ '1', '1', '15', 'esj', null, '2015-10-15 00:00:00', null], etc...

how can I do it in jquery?

EDIT:

Using @Joseph the dreamer's answer I almost made it work, now I'm using:

return ["['"+arg.one+"'", "'"+arg.two+"'", "'"+arg.three+"'", "'"+arg.four+"'", "'"+arg.five+"'", "'"+arg.six+"']"]

and it produces me this:

[1,2,3,4,5,6],[1,2,3,4,5,6], etc

which is fine, but I need to convert it later on to a string. How can I do that?

Your question is confusing. First you ask only to convert json (or objects) to arrays and now you've amended your question to further ask how to convert it to strings (which could be another question, which would be a duplicate). Actually at the first revision your question was clear and well formatted to be useful (to get an upvote). Now it's ... confusing. :/ — try-catch-finally

No jQuery required actually. All you need is map.

var arr = arguments[0].map(function(arg){
  return [arg.one, arg.two, arg.three, arg.four, arg.five, arg.six, arg.seven];
});

Would have gone for Object.keys to loop through the keys, but order had to be preserved. Plus, I would discourage modifying arguments.
