Parse JSON in JavaScript? [duplicate]
(16 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I want to convert
var connection = {
someName:'someValue'
}
to
data:{'connection.someName':'someValue'}
how can i do that?
To elaborate more;
I have
var data ={connection : {name : 'SomeName', url:'SomeUrl'}}
and i post
$.ajax({
type : 'POST'
data : data
....
})
and my back-end expects form data like
connection.name='SomeName'
connection.url='SomeUrl'
so it can bind connection data to Connection bean
Thanks.
Whilst the result you are looking for is technically valid JSON, this will not parse as expected:
var x = JSON.parse("{\"data.someName\":\"someValue\"}");
x.data.someName;
// Error: x.data is undefined
This is because the parser treats the entire literal as a single key, so you would have to access the value like so:
var x = JSON.parse("{\"data.someName\":\"someValue\"}");
x["data.someName"]
// "someValue"
What you actually want in order to be compliant, parsable JSON is this:
{"data":{"someName":"someValue"}}
The parser will treat this appropriately:
var x = JSON.parse("{\"data\":{\"someName\":\"someValue\"}}");
x.data.someName;
// "someValue";

JavaScript associative array to JSON
(5 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I am trying to pass an array through jQuery's ajax. The problem is that when I try to pass the array created in JavaScript to JSON, it returns something empty. I even try console.log, but when I try to convert it to JSON there is nothing. Here is a representation of how I do it:
var data = [];
data['name'] = 'test';
data['mail'] = 'test';
data['pass'] = 'test';
console.log(JSON.stringify(data)); // result []
Every array is an object. You are assigning object properties with the data['name'] = 'test' syntax. Arrays are indexed with integers and they "must" be in sequence. try a[0] = 'foo'. or Array.push

JavaScript property access: dot notation vs. brackets?

I have json file called list.json:
{
"nvg":{
"Title":"title",
"Description":"description",
"Image":"",
"URL":{
"DEV":"https://dev.com",
"TEST":"https://test.com",
"PROD":"https://prod.com"
}
}
I have an array
var apps = ["nvg"];
I want to access the json data and extract the object based on the variable's value. Does anyone know how to pass the [i] into the json call?
var getConfig = $.getJSON( data, function( json ) {
var apps = ["nvg"];
apps.forEach(function(i){
alert(i);
alert(json.i.URL.DEV);
});
});
Like the code above, but to actually the "i" to pass the value defined in the array?
You should be able to access the data using your Javascript object like an object or array. This means you can do the following:
alert(json[i].URL.DEV);

Extract values from json string javascript

I have an array in Laravel controller like:
$succeeded[] = array('name' => $name,
'file' => $file
);
...
return $succeeded;
I use an ajax call for getting $succeeded, and I'll have a return string in js function composed of:
"[{"name":"sor.jpg","file":"399393.jpg"}]"
My question is how can I get "name" and "file" values from the string above?
Note: I didn't use any JSON object in controller, but returned just the array. However I wonder it is advantageous to use JSON object.
You first need to parse the response text into a JSON array using the native JSON.parse, and then you can extract the values from the object in the parsed array using dot notation.
var respText = "[{\"name\":\"sor.jpg\",\"file\":\"399393.jpg\"}]";
var arr = JSON.parse(respText)[0]; // Careful - this will throw on invalid JSON
var name = arr.name; // "sor.jpg"
var file = arr.file; // "399393.jpg"

How to parse JSON easily?
(3 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
The String I am talking about was initially a part of a JS object like:
var nameVal = "Jacob";
var favNumbersVal = "{\"firstNum\":0, \"secondNum\":1, \"thirdNum\":2}";
var aJSObject = {
"name" = nameVal,
"favNumbers" = favNumbersVal
};
The variable I am interested in is favNumbersVal. Please notice that the starting and ending " around the value of favNumbersVal are the normal double quotes we put around a String whenever we define a String.
The format of the value of favNumbersVal is coming from a library dynamically.
The question is that how do I convert the value of favNumbersVal to a JS object, so that when I later convert sJSObject to JSON using JSON.stringify(), the value of aJSObject becomes a JSON object, and the value of favNumbers becomes a JSON object nested inside the aforementioned JSON object.
Using JSON.parse():
var favNumbersVal = "{\"firstNum\":0, \"secondNum\":1, \"thirdNum\":2}";
console.log(JSON.parse(favNumbersVal));

JSON Stringify Removing Data From Object

I am trying to set up an associative array in JavaScript and then store it in HTML5 Local Storage:
var student = [];
student["david"] = "He is doing very well";
localStorage['student'] = JSON.stringify(student);
var data = JSON.parse(localStorage['student']);
alert(data.david);
There is no such thing as an "associative array" in JavaScript. You are using a regular array which requires the use of numeric indexes, and adding arbitrary properties to it, which are ignored when you serialize the array to JSON.
The JSON-stringified result will be: "[]".
You need to use a real object:
var student = {}
