How do I get values of input element with the same name as an javascript array?

I want to get values of the input element that those elements are under the same name, name="items[]"
for example:

<div>...<input type="text" name="items[]" value="1" /></div>
<div>...<input type="text" name="items[]" value="2" /></div>
<div>...<input type="text" name="items[]" value="3" /></div>

And I wish to get the result something like:

[1, 2, 3] //that store in an javascript variable.

Do I need to do a loop to access all the elements to get its value? Please give me a good solution either javascript or JQuery.
Thanks
