Using node.js(javascript) how do I access the GetDataResult node in this JSON data that has been converted from SOAP data.
{
"s:Envelope": {
"$": {
"xmlns:s": "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
},
"s:Body": [{
"GetDataResponse": [{
"$": {
"xmlns": "http://tempuri.org/"
},
"GetDataResult": ["You entered: TEST"]
}]
}]
}
}
Test using nodejs interactive mode :
$ node
> var x = {
... "s:Envelope": {
..... "$": {
....... "xmlns:s": "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
....... },
..... "s:Body": [{
....... "GetDataResponse": [{
......... "$": {
........... "xmlns": "http://tempuri.org/"
........... },
......... "GetDataResult": ["You entered: TEST"]
......... }]
....... }]
..... }
... }
undefined
> console.log(x["s:Envelope"]["s:Body"][0]["GetDataResponse"][0]["GetDataResult"][0])
Output :
'You entered: TEST'
Explanations :
I try to elaborate a bit from comments below. There is no container, I try to explain :
You have to think json like what it is : an object or a data structure.
In python, we would say it's a dict, in perl a hash table etc... Globally, it's all about associative array
So when you see in JSON :
"key" : { "value" }
it's an associative array
If instead you see
"key": [
{ "key1": "foo" },
{ "key2": "bar" },
{ "key3": "base" }
]
It's an array of hashes or array of associative arrays.
When you access a simple associative array without spaces or odd characters, you can (in js do :
variable.key
In your case, you have odd character : in the key name, so x.s:Envelope wouldn't work. Instead we write: x['s:Envelope'].
And as far as you have arrays of associative arrays inside [], you have to tell js which array number you need to fetch. It's arrays with only one associative array, so it's simple, we go deeper in the data structure by passing array number, that's what we've done with
x['s:Envelope']["s:Body"][0]

I have a document structure something along the lines of the following:
{
"_id" : "777",
"someKey" : "someValue",
"someArray" : [
{
"name" : "name1",
"someNestedArray" : [
{
"name" : "value"
},
{
"name" : "delete me"
}
]
}
]
}
I want to delete the nested array element with the value "delete me".
I know I can find documents which match this description using nested $elemMatch expressions. What is the query syntax for removing the element in question?
To delete the item in question you're actually going to use an update. More specifically you're going to do an update with the $pull command which will remove the item from the array.
db.temp.update(
{ _id : "777" },
{$pull : {"someArray.0.someNestedArray" : {"name":"delete me"}}}
)
There's a little bit of "magic" happening here. Using .0 indicates that we know that we are modifying the 0th item of someArray. Using {"name":"delete me"} indicates that we know the exact data that we plan to remove.
This process works just fine if you load the data into a client and then perform the update. This process works less well if you want to do "generic" queries that perform these operations.
I think it's easiest to simply recognize that updating arrays of sub-documents generally requires that you have the original in memory at some point.
In response to the first comment below, you can probably help your situation by changing the data structure a little
"someObjects" : {
"name1": {
"someNestedArray" : [
{
"name" : "value"
},
{
"name" : "delete me"
}
]
}
}
Now you can do {$pull : { "someObjects.name1.someNestedArray" : ...
Here's the problem with your structure. MongoDB does not have very good support for manipulating "sub-arrays". Your structure has an array of objects and those objects contain arrays of more objects.
If you have the following structure, you are going to have a difficult time using things like $pull:
array [
{ subarray : array [] },
{ subarray : array [] },
]
If your structure looks like that and you want to update subarray you have two options:
Change your structure so that you can leverage $pull.
Don't use $pull. Load the entire object into a client and use findAndModify.
MongoDB 3.6 added $[] operator that facilitates updates to arrays that contain embedded documents. So the problem can be solved by:
db.test.update(
{ _id : "777" },
{$pull : {"someArray.$[].someNestedArray" : {"name":"delete me"}}}
)
As #Melkor has commented (should probably be an answer as itself),
If you do not know the index use:
{
_id: TheMainID,
"theArray._id": TheArrayID
},
{
$pull: {
"theArray.$.theNestedArray": {
_id: theNestedArrayID
}
}
}
From MongoDB 3.6 on you can use arrayFilters to do this:
db.test.update(
{ _id: "777" },
{ $pull: { "someArray.$[elem].someNestedArray": { name: "delete me" } } },
{ arrayFilters: [{ "elem.name": "name1"}] }
)
see also https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/update/positional-filtered/index.html#update-all-documents-that-match-arrayfilters-in-an-array
Other example and usage could be like this:
{
"company": {
"location": {
"postalCode": "12345",
"Address": "Address1",
"city": "Frankfurt",
"state": "Hessen",
"country": "Germany"
},
"establishmentDate": "2019-04-29T14:12:37.206Z",
"companyId": "1",
"ceo": "XYZ"
},
"items": [{
"name": "itemA",
"unit": "kg",
"price": "10"
},
{
"name": "itemB",
"unit": "ltr",
"price": "20"
}
]
}
DELETE : Mongodb Query to delete ItemB:
db.getCollection('test').update(
{"company.companyId":"1","company.location.city":"Frankfurt"},
{$pull : {"items" : {"name":"itemB"}}}
)
FIND: Find query for itemB:
db.getCollection('test').find(
{"company.companyId":"1","company.location.city":"Frankfurt","items.name":"itemB"},
{ "items.$": 1 }
)
3.UPDATE : update query for itemB:
db.getCollection('test').update
(
{"company.companyId":"1","company.location.city":"Frankfurt","items.name":"itemB"},
{ $set: { "items.$[].price" : 90 }},
{ multi: true });
I'm sending a JSON array to a script for further processing. The JSON array contains a bunch of objects each of which contain a further array of objects. What I need to know is how to access values within those nested objects. So, for instance, if the script receives the following:
petlist = [
{"cats":[
{"catName":"Felix","catType":"British short haired"}
]
},
{"dogs":[
{"dogName":"Fido","dogType":"Labrador"}
]
},
{"fish":[
{"fishName":"Bob","fishType":"Goldfish"}
]
},
{"birds":[
{"birdName":"Polly","birdType":"Parrot"}
]
}
]
How would I then address, say, a) dogName, b) birdType, or c) the entire cats object?
Also, am I correct in my terminology here? As I understand it the stuff in square brackets is an array, while the stuff in curly braces is an object.
edit: I am building the JSON in Javascript and I then need to access the elements in a Jade template (in an 'each' loop)
Thanks
I changed your JSON a little bit because I think it was not very fun to work with. Basically I just loop through the objects thats why I thought you should have a key like name instead of dogName, catName and so on.
You can find the working example with Jade in this JSFiddle
HTML
<div id="jadeoutput"></div>
<pre id="jadeinput" style="display:none">
- console.log(petlist)
h1 List
ul.list
- for(var i in petlist)
li= "Item - "+ petlist[i].name
- for(var j in petlist[i].pets)
li= "Pet - " + petlist[i].pets[j].name + " " + petlist[i].pets[j].type
</pre>
JavaScript
$(function() {
var json = {
"petlist" : [
{
"name" : "cats",
"pets":
[
{ "name":"Felix","type":"British short haired"}
]
},
{
"name" : "dogs",
"pets":
[
{"name":"Fido","type":"Labrador"}
]
},
{
"name" : "fish",
"pets":
[
{"name":"Bob","type":"Goldfish"}
]
},
{
"name" : "birds",
"pets" :
[
{"name":"Polly","type":"Parrot"}
]
}
]};
$("#jadeoutput").html(jade.compile($("#jadeinput").html())(json));
});
I am working Angular js project, I am getting form server response is JSON Object. That JSON Object contains nested Objects and Arrays. for every time i need write lot coding getting the value of key
Ex:
{
"mapData": {
"data": [
{
"key": "name",
"value": "abc"
},
{
"key": "name",
"value": "bcd"
},
{
"key": "name",
"value": "vbc"
}
]
}
}
what i was tried example is so many times, it is not related above example.
for(var key in object) {
if(key=="Id"){
Id= object[key].fieldValue;
secondData.forEach(function(item){
for(var innerItem in item){
if(innerItem =="Id"){
if(Id==item[innerItem].fieldValue){
FinalData.push(item);
}
}
}
});
}
}
Is there any way generic way Instead of writing every time for for loop and For Each loop.
could you please suggest any things
Thanks in advance
mapData.data[i].key will return your key value. i is index of your data array you can easily iterate data by
for(var i =0;i<mapData.data.length;i++){}
What is the best way to create an array that looks like the following:
[
{
"id":"1",
"value": true
},
{
"id":"3",
"value": false
},
{
"id":"5",
"value": true
},
{
"id":"6",
"value": false
},
{
"id":"9",
"value": true
},
]
My code:
//add to array
thing = {
"id" : 1,
"value" : "true"
};
thingArray.push(thing);
It does not seem to be properly formatted when I put the output in a JSON validator.
As I commented further up, make sure you're actually serializing it to JSON at some point. In your code example you're simply working with a JavaScript object, which isn't the same thing as JSON. Here's an example:
// start with a regular JavaScript array
var array = [];
// push some regular JavaScript objects to it
array.push({
id: 1,
value: true
});
array.push({
id: 2,
value: false
});
// serialize your JavaScript array into actual JSON
var json = JSON.stringify(array);
// do whatever you want with it...
console.log(json);
Here's a JSBin example.
Your code is fine. Here's some more code to get you started:
var arr = [];
arr.push({"id": 1, "value": "true"});
arr.push({"id": 2, "value": "false"});
console.dir(arr);
http://jsfiddle.net/gg014w0h/
You can run that fiddle and then check your console output. You'll see the contents of the array pretty clearly.
JSON validators will not like the trailing comma of the array. There is a difference between console.log(array) and console.log(JSON.stringify(array)). You may want to use the latter.
Also note that booleans are allowed in JSON:
"value": "true",
"value": true
Those are both valid and they mean different things.
I am trying to iterate over and retrieve some data from JSON file using D3 Javascript.
Here is the JSON file:
{
"Resources":
[
{
"subject": "Node 1",
"group" : "1"
},
{
"predicate": "Node 2",
"group" : "2"
},
{
"object": "Node 3",
"group" : "3"
},
{
"subject": "Node 4",
"group" : "4"
},
{
"predicate": "Node 5",
"group" : "5"
},
{
"object": "Node 6",
"group" : "6"
}
]
}
This is my code in D3 Javascript for iterating and retrieving data:
d3.json("folder/sample.json", function(error, graph) {
document.write(graph.Resources[0].subject);
// The code for retrieving all the elements from the JSON file
});
The code above retrieves the first subject which is: Node 1. I could not even retrieve the group.
Could anyone please help me iterate over the JSON file Resources and retrieve the elements: subject, predicate, object and group, using any sort of iterations such as a for loop.
The group lines in your JSON file should look like "group" : "2". Also, your JSON contains a single object (Resources); that's why your document.write is only called once. You'll need to iterate through the value of Resources:
d3.json("test.json", function(error, graph) {
var resources = graph.Resources;
for (var i = 0; i < resources.length; i++) {
var obj = resources[i]
for (var key in obj) {
console.log(key+"="+obj[key]);
}
}
});
will get you
subject=Node 1
group=1
...
I'd like to summarize what I've already wrote in several question's comments.
Because posted JSON file was invalid it was not possible to iterate over it. Original JSON file:
{
"Resources":
[
{
"subject": "Node 1",
"group" = "1"
},
...
{
"object": "Node 6",
"group" = "6"
}
]
}
Each line which contains property group = "x" is wrong. It should be group : "x".
Those kind of errors/typos are easily overlooked. They can be find out checking JSON file with proper tool like JSON validator. In this case JSONLint tool reported:
Parse error on line 5:
... "group"="1" } ]
----------------------^
Expecting '}', ':', ',', ']'
After fixing format of file, iteration could be done easily using any loop: variable graph contains object Resources, which is an array of objects. Each of them contains common property group.
