How to access json nested objects in node.js - json

Question

I have used xml2js parser to parse the xml file in node.js. It is parsing the xml successfully. But now i want to parse the json or to identify the particular data in json.
My node.js code
var fs = require('fs');
var parseString = require('xml2js').parseString;
var xml = 'C:\\temp\\Masters.xml';
var fileData = fs.readFileSync(xml,'utf8');
parseString(fileData, function (err, result) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
var json = JSON.stringify(result);
var jsonObj = JSON.parse(json);
for (var key in jsonObj) {
console.dir(key + ": " + jsonObj[key].Customer_Name);
}
});
In console output:
'Masters: undefined'
Json data:
'{"Masters":
{
"Customer":
[
{"Customer_Name":["Kim"],
"Customer_Code":["c86"],
"Date":["23-11-15"],
"Address":["Narhe"],
"City":["Pune"],
"State":["Maharashtra"],
"TIN":["3365670"],
"PAN_Number":["AAAAA1111a"],
"Mobile_Number":["8999000090"],
"Email_ID":["amitshirke#gmail.com"],
"Contact_Person":["Anish"],
"Opening_Balance":["0"] },
{"Customer_Name":["Ankit"],
"Customer_Code":["c87"],
"Date":["12-04-15"],
"Address":["Narhe"],
"City":["Pune"],
"State":["Maharashtra"],
"TIN":["336567"],
"PAN_Number":["AAAAA1111p"],
"Mobile_Number":["8900000000"],
"Email_ID":["amitshirke1#gmail.com"],
"Contact_Person":["Anuj"],
"Opening_Balance":["0"] }
]
}
}'
In above data, Masters is root element(Object), Customer is another nested object and there two customers. Then how can I access the customer names or how to use the for loop to access the same?.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can access the Customer array as follows -
var customerArray = Masters.Customer,
length = customerArray.length;
for(var i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
// You can access the customers array from here -
console.log(customerArray[i].Customer_Name[0]); // [0] hardcoded because as you can see all the variables are in array at 0th position
// similarly you can access other data
console.log(customerArray[i].City[0]);
}
