In this fiddle attempting to iterate over json String :
http://jsfiddle.net/sfbanvv6/2/
But receive exception :
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token e
JSON is valid ? So something incorrect with how I'm iterating ?
fiddle code :
javascript :
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var jsonString2 = '{ "header": "test1", "children": [ { "date": "2015-01-02", "count": "36" }, { "date": "2015-01-03", "count": "29" } ] }'
var data2 = []
var combinedHeights2=[]
var myData2 = JSON.parse(jsonString2);
$.each(myData2, function(i, obj) {
console.log($.parseJSON(obj))
$.each(obj.children, function(i2, obj2) {
console.log('here')
var d = new Date(obj2.date)
console.log(Date.parse(d))
// data2.push([Date.parse(d), parseInt(obj.count)])
// combinedHeights2.push(parseInt(obj.count))
});
});
});
$.parseJSON(obj) is attempting to parse something that is already parsed. JSON parsers don't parse only the top level and leave the inner JSON as JSON, they return an entire nested set of arrays and objects. So your error may be caused by your logging code.
The cure is to recognize that obj doesn't need any parsing and you can just use it directly.
Getting more specific, this code will do what you seem to want:
var jsonString2 = '{ "header": "test1", "children": [
{ "date": "2015-01-02", "count": "36" },
{ "date": "2015-01-03", "count": "29" }
] }';
var data2 = [];
var combinedHeights2 = [];
var myData2 = JSON.parse(jsonString2);
console.log(myData2);
$.each(myData2.children, function(i, obj) {
console.log(obj);
var d = new Date(obj.date);
console.log(Date.parse(d));
});
Especially pay attention to what myData2 looks like when logged. You need to use myData2.children in your each, not myData2 by itself.
P.S. Get some semicolons!
With chrome logging formats you can more clearly see what you are iterating with by changing your logging statement to;
$.each(myData2, function(i, obj) {
console.log('%s %O', i, obj);
});
Your first obj is property in the loop header = 'test1' there is no children property for this. The second is children = [ ] which is your array.
To iterate over the array just use;
$.each(myData2.children, function(i, obj) {
var d = new Date(obj.date)
}
obj.children was undefined. Here its the working one
var myData2 = JSON.parse(jsonString2);
$.each(myData2, function(i, obj) {
var t = myData2.children;
$.each(t, function(i2, obj2) {
console.log(obj2);
//var d = new Date(obj2.date);
//console.log(Date.parse(d));
// data2.push([Date.parse(d), parseInt(obj.count)])
// combinedHeights2.push(parseInt(obj.count))
});
});
but here is a better version to get only dates
$.each(myData2.children, function(i, obj) {
var t = this;
console.log(t.date);
var d = new Date(t.date);
});
});
If you are trying to iterate the children property of your Json then you can do it this way:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var jsonString2 = '{ "header": "test1", "children": [ { "date": "2015-01-02", "count": "36" }, { "date": "2015-01-03", "count": "29" } ] }'
var myData2 = JSON.parse(jsonString2);
$.each(myData2.children, function(i, obj) {
console.log(obj);
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
You were getting the exception because your code tried to iterate over your "header" parameter which holds a String and therefor cannot be iterated.

I need to convert a large CSV data set to JSON, however the output should be a JSON dictionary like this:
var products = {
"crystal": {
"description": "This is a crystal",
"price": "2.95"
},
"emerald": {
"description": "This is a emerald",
"price": "5.95"
}
};
This is what the CSV table would look like:
I am using a script referenced here to generate the JSON:
var csv = require('csv')
var fs = require('fs')
var f = fs.createReadStream('Fielding.csv')
var w = fs.createWriteStream('out.txt')
w.write('[');
csv()
.from.stream(f, {columns:true})
.transform(function(row, index) {
return (index === 0 ? '' : ',\n') + JSON.stringify(row);
})
.to.stream(w, {columns: true, end: false})
.on('end', function() {
w.write(']');
w.end();
});
However the output from that script is created in this format:
[
{
"name": "crystal",
"description": "This is a crystal",
"price": "2.95"
},
{
"name": "emerald",
"description": "This is a emerald",
"price": "5.95"
}
]
How would I modify the script to get my desired "dictionary" format?
All you need to do is loop over the array and use item.name as key for your dictionary object
var products ={};
data.forEach(function(item){
products[item.name] = item;
});
This will leave the name property in the item but that shouldn't be an issue
I found csv parser library most useful:

`
var csv = require('csv');
csv.parse(csvText, {columns: true}, function(err, data){
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
});
In variable csvText I have my comma-separated file, with the first line serving as a header. I use the parse function and I'm passing the {columns: true} to indicated that the first line has the headers. Second parameter in the callback function (data) has the object with keys being the headers and the values being the corresponding csv cells. I use JSON.stringify to print it nicely and the result object looks like this (it puts it into an array):
[
{
"status": "success",

UPD: This array can easily be turned into the object you need with reduce:
var res_obj = data.reduce(function(acc, cur, i) {
acc[cur.name] = cur;
return acc;
}, {});
In my case I use the name property as a key. Make sure it's unique.
I think something like this would work :
var products_arr = [{"name":"crystal","description":"This is a crystal","price":"2.95"},
{"name":"emerald","description":"This is a emerald","price":"5.95"}]
var products = {};
for (var i = 0, l = products_arr.length ; i < l ; ++i) {
var x = products_arr[i];
var name = x.name
delete x.name; // deletes name property from JSON object
products[name] = x;
}
This will output :
{
"crystal": {
"description": "This is a crystal",
"price": "2.95"
},
"emerald": {
"description": "This is a emerald",
"price": "5.95"
}
}
If you would like to modify your specific code, you could change the line
return (index === 0 ? '' : ',\n') + JSON.stringify(row);
to
var clonedRow = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(row));
var key = clonedRow['name'];
delete clonedRow['name'];
var newRow = {};
newRow[key] = clonedRow;
return (index === 0 ? '' : ',\n') + JSON.stringify(newRow);
This creates a new object for each row, modifying the structure according to your requirement.
Your best bet is to use PapaParse, a powerful csv parser/dumper. It supports streams, various string encodings, header row, and it's fast.
Trying to push the values into temp Array, from the existing array object. Here am validating whether the values are null or not in my existing object and then pushing it into temp Array.
But currently this is output I am getting : ["0","abc"]
Expected output should be [{"0":"abc"},{"1":"def"}]
Once the values are pushed into the temp array, I need to bind it to my html list.
This is what have tried.
JS:
var tempArray = [];
var json = [
{
"itemId": "1",
"prodTitle": "abc",
},
{
"itemId": "2",
"prodTitle": "def",
},
{
"itemId": "",
"prodTitle": "",
}
]
for (var i=0;i<json.length;i++){
if(json[i].itemId!=""&&json[i].prodTitle!="")
tempArray.itemId = json[i].itemId;
tempArray.prodTitle = json[i].prodTitle;
tempArray.push(tempArray.itemId,tempArray.prodTitle);
}
console.log(tempArray);

You have many mistakes, here's right one
for (var i=0; i<json.length; i++){
if(json[i].itemId && json[i].prodTitle) {
tempArray.push(json[i]);
}
}
Your mistakes
for (var i=0;i<json.length;i++){
if(json[i].itemId!=""&&json[i].prodTitle!="") // <-- mistake, braces are needed, because you have 3 lines below
tempArray.itemId = json[i].itemId; // <-- you are adding property to array
tempArray.prodTitle = json[i].prodTitle; // <-- still adding
tempArray.push(tempArray.itemId,tempArray.prodTitle); //<-- pushing strings, not valid object, use like --> {key: value}
}
Another option using Array.filter Also makes it chain-able. However a for loop will be faster, depends if the chain-ability is something you require, i find it quite powerful at times.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/filter
var json = [
{
"itemId": "1",
"prodTitle": "abc",
},
{
"itemId": "2",
"prodTitle": "def",
},
{
"itemId": "",
"prodTitle": "",
}
];
var tempArray = json.filter(function (item) {
return (isDefined(item.itemId) && isDefined(item.prodTitle));
});
function isDefined (o) {
return o !== undefined && o !== null && o !== '';
}
console.log(tempArray);
http://jsfiddle.net/zgg79wfa/1/
You can achieve this without jQuery by using the .filter() method:
var json = [{
"itemId": "1",
"prodTitle": "abc",
},
{
"itemId": "2",
"prodTitle": "def",
},
{
"itemId": "",
"prodTitle": "",
}];
console.log( json );
var tempArray = json.filter( function( el ) {
return el.itemId && el.prodTitle;
});
console.log( tempArray );
I have a JSON data structure as shown below:
{
"name": "World",
"children": [
{ "name": "US",
"children": [
{ "name": "CA" },
{ "name": "NJ" }
]
},
{ "name": "INDIA",
"children": [
{ "name": "OR" },
{ "name": "TN" },
{ "name": "AP" }
]
}
]
};
I need to change the key names from "name" & "children" to say "key" & "value". Any suggestion on how to do that for each key name in this nested structure?
I don't know why you have a semicolon at the end of your JSON markup (assuming that's what you've represented in the question), but if that's removed, then you can use a reviver function to make modifications while parsing the data.
var parsed = JSON.parse(myJSONData, function(k, v) {
if (k === "name")
this.key = v;
else if (k === "children")
this.value = v;
else
return v;
});
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/BeSad/
Try this:
function convert(data){
return {
key: data.name,
value: data.children.map(convert);
};
}
Or if you need to support older browsers without map:
function convert(data){
var children = [];
for (var i = 0, len = data.children.length; i < len; i++){
children.push(convert(data.children[i]));
}
return {
key: data.name,
value: children
};
}
You could use a function like this :
function clonerename(source) {
if (Object.prototype.toString.call(source) === '[object Array]') {
var clone = [];
for (var i=0; i<source.length; i++) {
clone[i] = goclone(source[i]);
}
return clone;
} else if (typeof(source)=="object") {
var clone = {};
for (var prop in source) {
if (source.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
var newPropName = prop;
if (prop=='name') newPropName='key';
else if (prop=='children') newPropName='value';
clone[newPropName] = clonerename(source[prop]);
}
}
return clone;
} else {
return source;
}
}
var B = clonerename(A);
Note that what you have isn't a JSON data structure (this doesn't exist as JSON is a data-exchange format) but probably an object you got from a JSON string.
(context)I have information from a bunch of elements that I'm collecting into a JSON object that then gets passed down to an MVC3 controller where it gets deserialized into an object.
There are 'items' and 'item settings'. Currently, I have have both items and item settings all in flat JSON object. Ideally I would like to have the item settings nested under each item. My code currently looks like this:
var editeditems=[];
...
$("#SaveChanges").click(function() {
//this works and retrieves all of the item IDs
$(".portlet").each(function() {
var itemname = $(this).data("itemname");
editeditems.push(
{
"itemname": itemname
});
itemname = $(this).data("itemname");
$(".settingInput").each(function() {
editeditems.push(
{
"settingkey":$(this).attr("name"),
"settingvalue":$(this).attr("value")
});
});
});
Under the $(".settingInput").each function is where the settings get added. I've tried syntax like 'editedItems.settings.push..' but it returns with a syntax error.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
var editeditems = [];
...
$('#SaveChanges').click(function() {
$('.portlet').each(function() {
var settings = [];
$('.settingInput').each(function() {
settings.push({
settingkey: $(this).attr('name'),
settingvalue: $(this).attr('value')
});
});
editeditems.push({
itemname: $(this).data('itemname'),
settings: settings
});
});
...
});
will generate sample output:
var editeditems =
[
{
"itemname": "item1",
"settings": [
{
"settingkey": "key1",
"settingvalue": "value1"
},
{
"settingkey": "key2",
"settingvalue": "value2"
}
]
},
{
"itemname": "item2",
"settings": [
{
"settingkey": "key1",
"settingvalue": "value3"
},
{
"settingkey": "key2",
"settingvalue": "value4"
}
]
}
];
var ei = {'settings': [3]};
ei.settings.push(4);
console.log(ei);
// This will output an object with property settings and value an array with values (3 and 4)
You need to create flat data array json as:
[{"itemname": "item1","settingkey": "key1","settingvalue": "value1"},
{"itemname": "item2","settingkey": "key2","settingvalue": "value2"},];
Than process the above date like this
var keys = Object.keys(dataMap);
var json = [];
for (var key in keys) {
var innerJson = {};
innerJson["name"] = keys[key];
var innerMap = dataMap[keys[key]];
if (innerMap instanceof Array) {
innerJson["size"] = innerMap[0];
} else if (innerMap instanceof Object) {
var child = processHirarchiachalData(innerMap);
innerJson["children"] = child;
}
json.push(innerJson);
}
I have two js arrays already, say: names and values (with the same length), now I would like to construct a json object in certain format? For example:
names = ["label1","label2","label3"];
values = [[[0,1],[1,9],[2,10]],[[0,89],[1,91],[2,1]],[[0,1],[1,9],[2,10]]];
I would like to have a json array data_spec in this format:
[{
label:"label1",
data:[[0,1],[1,9],[2,10]]
},
{
label:"label2",
data:[[0,89],[1,91],[2,1]]
},
{
label:"label3",
data:[[0,1],[1,9],[2,10]]
}]
Could anyone tell one how? Thanks a lot!
For a bit of variety and a check,
var data_spec = [];
if (names.length != values.length) {
// panic, throw an exception, log an error or just return an empty array
} else {
for (var i=0, name; name = names[i]; i++) { // assuming a non-sparse array
data_spec[i] = {
label : name,
data : values[i]
};
}
}
That is, non-sparse and not containing anything else that would evaluate to false.
If your framework has an each function added to Array and you don't care about performance,
var data_spec = [];
names.each(function(name) {
data_spec.push({ label : name, data : values[names.indexOf(name)] });
});
If your framework is a clean one like Dojo and puts it somewhere else (ex is Dojo),
var data_spec = [];
dojo.forEach(names, function(name) {
data_spec.push({ label : name, data : values[names.indexOf(name)] });
});
If your framework has an each function that returns an Array of identical length with the results of every operation at their expected position,
var data_spec = arrayOfResultsEach(names, function(name) {
return { label : name, data : values[names.indexOf(name)] };
});
These are just for illustration, indexOf inside loops of arbitrary length is a major code smell.
Just use a loop (make sure the two arrays are of same length)
result = [];
for(var i=0, len=names.length; i < len; i++) {
result.push({label: names[i], data: values[i]});
}
var myArray =
[{
"label": "label1",
"data" :
{
"0": "1",
"1": "9",
"2": "10"
}
},
{
"label": "label2",
"data" :
{
"0": "89",
"1": "91",
"2": "1"
}
},
{
"label": "label3",
"data" :
{
"0": "1",
"1": "9",
"2": "10"
}
}];
alert(myArray[0].data[2]);
