Parse the following JSON using google apps script - json

Question

-- Hi everyone, It's been now several days I'm trying to parse the following JSON using google apps script.
[
{
"NOMBRE": "ViejosNoUsarEl Quebrachal",
"ACTIVO": false,
"CODIGO": "ViejosNoUsarQUEB",
"CALLE": null,
"NUMERO": null,
"PROVINCIA": "Jujuy",
"LOCALIDAD": "EL MORRO",
"ZONA": null,
"SUPERFICIE": 3900,
"CODIGOEXTERNO": ""
},
{
"NOMBRE": "ViejoNoUsarSanta Teresa",
"ACTIVO": false,
"CODIGO": "ViejoNoUsarST",
"CALLE": null,
"NUMERO": null,
"PROVINCIA": "San Luis",
"LOCALIDAD": "Villa MercedesOLD",
"ZONA": "Oeste",
"SUPERFICIE": 3700,
"CODIGOEXTERNO": ""
},
{
"NOMBRE": "ViejosNoUsarGil",
"ACTIVO": false,
"CODIGO": "ViejosNoUsarGIL",
"CALLE": null,
"NUMERO": null,
"PROVINCIA": "Cordoba",
"LOCALIDAD": "9 DE JULIO",
"ZONA": "Oeste",
"SUPERFICIE": 200,
"CODIGOEXTERNO": ""
},
{
"NOMBRE": "ViejosNoUsarDon Manuel",
"ACTIVO": false,
"CODIGO": "ViejosNoUsarDM",
"CALLE": null,
"NUMERO": null,
"PROVINCIA": "Cordoba",
"LOCALIDAD": "9 DE JULIO",
"ZONA": "Oeste",
"SUPERFICIE": 400,
"CODIGOEXTERNO": ""
}
]
The GET response is giving me the JSON as I posted it.
Using google apps script I want to add on a google sheet as much rows as objects are in the array.
In this case there would be 4 google sheet rows. I want to parse only the values of the properties.
As an example, the first row would look like this:
ViejosNoUsarEl Quebrachal | false | ViejosNoUsarQUEB | null | null | Jujuy | EL MORRO | null | 3900 |
I want to focus on this question on the pasrsing matter, not on the adding the rows to the google sheet yet.
The problem is that I cant get the dot notation to extract the values I want.
For example, Logger.log(response.provincia); prints "Information null".

Modification points:
From your showing sample data and For example, Logger.log(response.provincia); prints "Information null"., I thought that the reason for your issue is due to that you are trying to retrieve the values from an array using response.provincia. In this case, it is required to be response[i].PROVINCIA. i is the index of an array. If you want to retrieve the value of "PROVINCIA" of the 1st element of the array, you can use response[0].PROVINCIA. From your showing data, provincia is required to be PROVINCIA. When response[0].provincia is run, undefined is returned. Please be careful about this.
When you want to retrieve the values like ViejosNoUsarEl Quebrachal | false | ViejosNoUsarQUEB | null | null | Jujuy | EL MORRO | null | 3900 | in order, in this case, the values are retrieved by preparing the keys in order.
When these points are reflected in a sample script, it becomes as follows.
Sample script:
const keys = ["NOMBRE", "ACTIVO", "CODIGO", "CALLE", "NUMERO", "PROVINCIA", "LOCALIDAD", "ZONA", "SUPERFICIE", "CODIGOEXTERNO"];
const response = [
{
"NOMBRE": "ViejosNoUsarEl Quebrachal",
"ACTIVO": false,
"CODIGO": "ViejosNoUsarQUEB",
"CALLE": null,
"NUMERO": null,
"PROVINCIA": "Jujuy",
"LOCALIDAD": "EL MORRO",
"ZONA": null,
"SUPERFICIE": 3900,
"CODIGOEXTERNO": ""
},
{
"NOMBRE": "ViejoNoUsarSanta Teresa",
"ACTIVO": false,
"CODIGO": "ViejoNoUsarST",
"CALLE": null,
"NUMERO": null,
"PROVINCIA": "San Luis",
"LOCALIDAD": "Villa MercedesOLD",
"ZONA": "Oeste",
"SUPERFICIE": 3700,
"CODIGOEXTERNO": ""
},
{
"NOMBRE": "ViejosNoUsarGil",
"ACTIVO": false,
"CODIGO": "ViejosNoUsarGIL",
"CALLE": null,
"NUMERO": null,
"PROVINCIA": "Cordoba",
"LOCALIDAD": "9 DE JULIO",
"ZONA": "Oeste",
"SUPERFICIE": 200,
"CODIGOEXTERNO": ""
},
{
"NOMBRE": "ViejosNoUsarDon Manuel",
"ACTIVO": false,
"CODIGO": "ViejosNoUsarDM",
"CALLE": null,
"NUMERO": null,
"PROVINCIA": "Cordoba",
"LOCALIDAD": "9 DE JULIO",
"ZONA": "Oeste",
"SUPERFICIE": 400,
"CODIGOEXTERNO": ""
}
];
const values = response.map(o => keys.map(h => o[h]));
console.log(values)
When this script is run, the values are returned as the 2-dimensional array. This can be used for putting to the Spreadsheet using setValues.
