I am receiving a JSON object from a PHP get request. It looks like this:
data == {"user_id":"7","emp_type_id":[{"0":"11","1":"10"}]}
I need to access the items within emp_type_id ("11" and "10" in this case).
I am able to access user_id just fine using data["user_id"] but can't figure out how to get the other items. I tried variations of:
eti=data["emp_type_id"];
var myVar = eti[0];
I'll want to loop through all items in emp_type_id eventually and add them to a JS array.
use a for in loop
var data = {"user_id":"7","emp_type_id":[{"0":"11","1":"10"}]};
var eti = data["emp_type_id"];
var myVar = eti[0];
for(var entry in myVar){
alert(entry + ":\t" + myVar[entry] );
}
Neal's answer will help, but I think you have other problems. Your json structure looks wrong
a) data == {"user_id":"7","emp_type_id":[{"0":"11","1":"10"}]}
should it be
b) data == {"user_id":"7","emp_type_id":["11","10"]}
That is in english
a) emp_type_id an array of one object which has two fields 0 and 1?
b) emp_type_id an array of two items with values 11 and 10
If it should be b) then your json is wrong.
data is an object that has two properties, user_id and emp_type_id. emp_type_id is an array with one element (???), that element is an object with the properties 0 and 1.
There are two ways of reading a property from an object:
var prop = data['emp_type_id'];
var prop = data.emp_type_id;
If you have "weird" property names then you will have to use the square-bracket technique.
so
var prop0 = data.emp_type_id[0].0;
var prop1 = data.emp_type_id[0].1;
I'm concerned that "0" and "1" will fall under the category of "weird property names" so you might need to do
var prop0 = data.emp_type_id[0]["0"];
var prop1 = data.emp_type_id[0]["1"];
Try this:
var eti = data.emp_type_id;
var myVar = eti[0];
var eti = data.emp_type_id;
var myVar = eti[0];
for(var key in myVar){
myVar[key];
}
