Essentially I'm trying to parse JSON and assigning the results to variables, one of which is "var = JSON.class;" with class being what's returned in the JSON. However, flash won't let me parse it because it's called class which it uses to create new classes. Is there any workaround or will I not be able to grab this node?
I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but if you have a property in your JSON object named "class", you should be able to parse it like as shown below.
// assuming JSON object looks like this, and is stored in a var named 'jsonData'
var jsonData:Object = { "id": 0, "class": "MyClassName", "values": [1,2,3] }
// trying to parse like this won't work w/keywords like 'class':
var parsedValue : String = jsonData.class;
// parse it with this way, using the square brackets:
var parsedValue : String = jsonData["class"];

I am trying to pull out the value "533"
{
"d": {
"ItemValue_1": 533
},
"ts": "2021-01-20T10:59:41.958591"
}
This does not work
var ItemValue_1 = msg.payload.ItemValue_1;
msg.payload = ItemValue_1;
return msg;
My result is unsuccessful
I was able to solve on my own, it works.
sensorMeasurement=JSON.parse(msg.payload);
msg.payload=sensorMeasurement.d;
var msgout = {payload : msg.payload.ItemValue_1}
return msgout;
The better way to do this is as follows:
Add a JSON node before the function node, this will turn a string payload in to a JSON object (assuming the string actually represents a JSON object).
Then if you are using a function node the following:
msg.payload = msg.payload.d.ItemValue_1;
return msg;
It is bad practice to create a new object as you did in your answer as it throws away any meta data that may be required later that is attached to the original object.
Rather than use a function node it would also be cleaner to use a change node and the Move mode to shift the msg.payload.d.ItemValue_1 to msg.payload
I am trying to create a json from this String
var json = { data: [v1,v2], con: [begin: "test1", end: "test2"] };
What is wrong with the String? I get an error SyntaxError: Unexpected token :It is not possible to set a key for the value test1 and test2?
In JavaScript:
An object literal, which uses the {} syntax, consists of a collection of property: value pairs.
An array literal, which uses the [] syntax, consists of a collection of values.
[begin: "test1", end: "test2"]
You have used the array syntax here, but have tried to put property: value pairs inside it.
This causes your error, the : isn't expected.
You probably want to use the {} there. Alternatively, you want to remove begin: and end:.
This has nothing to do with JSON or strings. It is simply JavaScript.
You are instantiating a javascript Object.
const toto = {};
is the same as
const toto = new Object();
This is a String javascript object, which hold a string representation of a json.
const toto = "{ \"key\": \"value\" }";
Try
var json = { data: ["v1","v2"], con: [{begin: "test1"}, {end: "test2"}] };
It looks like you might have a blocking error.
I gets following data in to a variable fields
{ data: [ '{"myObj":"asdfg"}' ] }
How to get the value of myObj to another variable? I tried fields.myObj.
I am trying to upload file to server using MEANjs and node multiparty
Look at your data.
fields only has one property: data. So fields.myObj isn't going to work.
So, let's start with fields.data.
The value of that is an array. You can see the []. It has only one member, so:
fields.data[0]
This is a string. You seem to want to treat it as an object. It happens to conform to the JSON syntax, so you can parse it:
JSON.parse(fields.data[0])
This parses into an object, so now you can access the myObj property.
JSON.parse(fields.data[0]).myObj
var fields = { data: [ '{"myObj":"asdfg"}' ] };
alert(JSON.parse(fields.data[0]).myObj);
I have JSON string like below :
{
"ConfigurationJsonResult":
[
2246,
2247,
2248,
2249,
2250,
2251,
2252,
2253,
2254,
2255
]
}
My problem is i want to get 1st value i.e 2246 using xPath.
I have tried using /ConfigurationJsonResult[1] but it gives me [2246,2247.....2255], i just want 2246. How to achieve it.
You can write a mapping function to convert xpath to jsonpath and use converted string to access the data.
function xpathToJsonPath(xpath) {
var jsonPath = xpath.replace("//","..");
//Simillarly other mappings
return jsonPath;
}
var data = jsonPath(object, xpathToJsonPath("$..author"));
Mappings are given the link you have shared - http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/
You can do plenty of improvements on this like extending this as a function to prototype etc.
I have json data in the following format
{"updates":
{"message" :"[[student:123]] is present."},
"references":[{"type":"student","full_name":"XYZ","id":123}]
}
How can I map the student name to the message using the id present over the message?
I am relatively new to JSON parsing. I am currently using EJS template to manipulate the JSON into HTML.
In that just using
<%alert(updates.message.student)%>
returns "undefined". Please help.
updates.message is a string, not a JavaScript object. You can tell by the quotes around the whole attribute. JavaScript strings don't have a student property, so you are getting undefined. You can parse out the JSON part from the string with regular expressions and then use JSON.parse() to get the JSON object. However, the student id is also in updates.references[0].id in your example.
To get the student ID, do this:
<% alert(updates.references[0].id) %>
edit: If you are really want to get the id out of the message, you need to parse it out somehow. If the message format will always be the same, you can try a regular expression or string splitting to get the part containing the id.
var id_part = json.updates.message.split(" ")[0];
//parse out just the ID number in a group
var re = /\[\[[^:]+:(\d+)\]\]/;
var matches = re.exec(id_part);
var id = matches[1];
To then get the corresponding data out of the references part, you need to loop through until you find one with the id from the message. This would work.
//Ghetto old for loop for browser compatibility
for (var i = 0; i < updates.references.length; i++) {
if (updates.references[i].id == id) {
//We have found the reference we want.
//Do stuff with that reference.
break;
}
}
try
var json = {
"updates": {
"message": "[[student:123]] is present."
},
"references": [
{
"type": "student",
"full_name": "XYZ",
"id": 123
}
]
};
alert(json.references[0].full_name);
