Json response + Node.js - json

Question

In my node app i pass bunch of queries as Object.I have to form as exact format of request.
Consider my request as:
{q0:{query0},q1:{query1},q2:{query1}}
My reponse should be {q0:{response0},q1{response1},q2{response2}
My actual query(In my app):
{"q0":{"query":"James Madison","type":"/people/presidents","type_strict":"should"},
"q1":{"query":"George Washington","type":"/people/presidents","type_strict":"should"},
"q2":{"query":"John Adams","type":"/people/presidents","type_strict":"should"},
"q3":{"query":"James Monroe","type":"/people/presidents","type_strict":"should"},
"q4":{"query":"Thomas Jefferson","type":"/people/presidents","type_strict":"should"}}
But my response is coming as:
{"result":[q0result,q1result,q3result]}
My code:
for (var id in presidents ) {
var match
if (query == presidents[id]) {
//console.log(" Inside match")
match = true;
}
else {
match = false;
}
matches.push({
"id": id,
//"name": name,
"score": 100,
"match": match,
"type": [{
"id": "/people/presidents",
"name": "US President"
}]
})
}
callback(matches);
json = JSON.stringify({"result":matches});
res.writeHead(200, {'content-type':'application/json'});
res.end(json);
Please help me to solve this..Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You are pushing the result in an array instead you should create a property in the result object as below
var matches = {};
for (var id in presidents ) {
if (query == presidents[id]) {
//console.log(" Inside match")
match = true;
}
else {
match = false;
}
matches[id] ={
"id": id,
//"name": name,
"score": 100,
"match": match,
"type": [{
"id": "/people/presidents",
"name": "US President"
}]
};
}
callback(matches);
