I have a nested data structure / JSON, how can I access a specific value?
I have a json object, like the one below:
[
["Blankaholm", "Gamleby"],
["2012-10-23", "2012-10-22"],
["Blankaholm. Under natten har det varit inbrott", "E22 i med Gamleby. Singelolycka. En bilist har.],
["57.586174","16.521841"], ["57.893162","16.406090"]
]
It consists of 4 "property levels" (city, date, description and coordinates).
What I want to do is to be able to access these levels like in an array like this:
var coordinates = jsonObject[4];
This does obvious not work so my question is how can I do it?
Do I need to decode it or something, and if so how?
I found a straight forward way of solving this, with the use of JSON.parse.
Let's assume the json below is inside the variable jsontext.
[
["Blankaholm", "Gamleby"],
["2012-10-23", "2012-10-22"],
["Blankaholm. Under natten har det varit inbrott", "E22 i med Gamleby. Singelolycka. En bilist har.],
["57.586174","16.521841"], ["57.893162","16.406090"]
]
The solution is this:
var parsedData = JSON.parse(jsontext);
Now I can access the elements the following way:
var cities = parsedData[0];
The your seems a multi-array, not a JSON object.
If you want access the object like an array, you have to use some sort of key/value, such as:
var JSONObject = {
"city": ["Blankaholm, "Gamleby"],
"date": ["2012-10-23", "2012-10-22"],
"description": ["Blankaholm. Under natten har det varit inbrott", "E22 i med Gamleby. Singelolycka. En bilist har.],
"lat": ["57.586174","16.521841"],
"long": ["57.893162","16.406090"]
}
and access it with:
JSONObject.city[0] // => Blankaholm
JSONObject.date[1] // => 2012-10-22
and so on...
or
JSONObject['city'][0] // => Blankaholm
JSONObject['date'][1] // => 2012-10-22
and so on...
or, in last resort, if you don't want change your structure, you can do something like that:
var JSONObject = {
"data": [
["Blankaholm, "Gamleby"],
["2012-10-23", "2012-10-22"],
["Blankaholm. Under natten har det varit inbrott", "E22 i med Gamleby. Singelolycka. En bilist har.],
["57.586174","16.521841"],
["57.893162","16.406090"]
]
}
JSONObject.data[0][1] // => Gambleby
I noticed a couple of syntax errors, but other than that, it should work fine:
var arr = [
["Blankaholm", "Gamleby"],
["2012-10-23", "2012-10-22"],
["Blankaholm. Under natten har det varit inbrott", "E22 i med Gamleby. Singelolycka. En bilist har."], //<- syntax error here
["57.586174","16.521841"], ["57.893162","16.406090"]
];
console.log(arr[4]); //["57.893162","16.406090"]
console.log(arr[4][0]); //57.893162
var coordinates = [jsonObject[3][0],
jsonObject[3][0],
jsonObject[4][1],
jsonObject[4][1]];
