I have this data sample that I need to put into a JSON format.
What's the best way/structure to do that? If it helps, I'll be developing an angular product selection tool for this.
Item 1: Federation Phaser
Options:
| FORM FACTOR | PRICE |
| Compact | $545 |
| Pistol Grip | $600 |
Item 2: Sith Lightsaber
Options:
| BLADE COLOR | BLADE COUNT | PRICE |
| Red | Single | $1000 |
| Red | Double | $1750 |
| Blue | Single | $1125 |
| Blue | Double | $1875 |
| Green | Single | $1250 |

Answer 1

JSON is formed by name/value pairs and surrounded by curly braces {}. The name/value pair are separated by commas and the values themselves can be JSON objects or arrays.
Example 1 (Simple):
{
"fruit1": "apple",
"fruit2": "pear"
}
Example 2 (more complex):
{
"fruitBasket1": { "fruit1": "apple", "fruit2": "pear"},
"fruitBasket2": { "fruit1": "grape", "fruit2": "orange"}
}
For your example, you could construct the JSON as follows with an array:
{
"item": {
"name": "Federation Phaser",
"options": [
{
"form": "compact",
"price": "$545"
},
{
"form": "Pistol Grip",
"price": "$600"
}
]
},
"item2": {
"name": "Sith Lightsaber",
"options": [
{
"bladeColor": "red",
"count": "single",
"price": "$1000"
},
{
"bladeColor": "blue",
"count": "double",
"price": "$1875"
}
]
}
}
If you want to have a variable number of "items" you could put them into an array too. For example:
{
"items": [
{
"name": "Federation Phaser",
"options": [{
"form": "compact",
"price": "$545"
},
{
"form": "Pistol Grip",
"price": "$600"
}
]
},
{
"name": "Sith Lightsaber",
"options": [{
"bladeColor": "red",
"count": "single",
"price": "$1000"
},
{
"bladeColor": "blue",
"count": "double",
"price": "$1875"
}
]
}
]
}
