Javascript : Access JSON data example
Problem:
You have a JSON string such as below and you want to access the data individually via Javascript. How to access the JSON data with Javascript?
{
"name": "adamng",
"age": 38,
"address": {
"street": "108 Street",
"city": "Singapore"
},
"email": [{
"type": "personal",
"address": "adamng@somewherepersonal.com"
}, {
"type": "business",
"address": "adamng@someworkplace.com"
}]
}
Solution:
Use JSON.Parse()
to parse(process) the JSON string into a Javascript JSON Object and access the data via the JSON object.
Here you go!
Save this block of code into test.html
file and view it with your browser.
<html>
<script>
var JSONdata = '{"name": "adamng","age": 38,"address": {"street": "108 Street", "city": "Singapore" },"email": [{"type": "personal","address": "adamng@somewherepersonal.com"}, {"type": "business","address": "adamng@someworkplace.com"}]}';
var JSONObject = JSON.parse(JSONdata);
// retrieve the name
alert("Name :"+JSONObject["name"]);
alert(JSONObject.name);
// retrieve the age
alert(JSONObject["age"]);
alert(JSONObject.age);
alert(JSONObject.address.street);
alert(JSONObject["address"].city);
// access the first email object properties
alert(JSONObject.email[0].address);
// access the second email object properties
alert(JSONObject.email[1].type);
</script>
</html>
