creating JSON object without using a list - json

Question

I want to be able to create a JSON object so that I can access it like this.
education.schools.UNCC.graduation
Currently, my JSON is like this:
var education = {
"schools": [
"UNCC": {
"graduation": 2015,
"city": "Charlotte, NC",
"major": ["CS", "Spanish"]
},
"UNC-CH": {
"graduation": 2012,
"city": "Chapel Hill, NC"
"major": ["Sociology", "Film"]
}
],
"online": {
"website": "Udacity",
"courses": ["python", "java", "data science"]
}
};
When I go to Lint my JSON, I get an error message.
I know I can reformat my object to access it like this (below), but I don't want to do it this way. I want to be able to call the school name, and not use an index number.
education.schools[1].graduation

Answer 1

Objects have named keys. Arrays are a list of members.
Replace the value of "schools" with an object. Change [] to {}.

Answer 2

This is your JSON corrected.
Your JSON is invalid.
{
"schools": [
{
"UNCC": {
"graduation": "2015",
"city": [
"CS",
"Spanish"
],
"major": [
"CS",
"Spanish"
]
}
},
{
"UNC-CH": {
"graduation": "2012",
"city": [
"Chapel Hill",
"NC"
],
"major": [
"Sociology",
"Film"
]
}
}
],
"online": {
"website": "Udacity",
"courses": [
"python",
"java",
"data science"
]
}
}
Explanation:
"city": "Chapel Hill, NC" -> this is a array with 2 values "Chapel Hill" and "HC", like you do with major and courses.
The Schools array, you need to use this sintaxe to construct a array [{
