Inserting property in JSON object at a specific position
javascript, jquery, json
Solution
To specify an order in which elements of an object are placed, you'll need to use an array of objects, like this:
data = [
{0: 'lorem'},
{1: 'dolor sit'},
{2: 'consectetuer'}
]
You can then push a element to a certain position in the array:
// Push {6: 'adipiscing'} to position 1
data.splice(1, 0, {6: 'adipiscing'})
// Result:
data = [
{0: 'lorem'},
{6: 'adipiscing'},
{1: 'dolor sit'},
{2: 'consectetuer'}
]
// Access it:
data[0][0] //"lorem"
However, this will render the indices you've specified (`{0:`) pretty much useless.
Problem
Possible Duplicate: Does JavaScript Guarantee Object Property Order? I would like to know how I can insert a JSON object property at a specific position? Let's assume this Javascript object: ``` var data = { 0: 'lorem', 1: 'dolor sit', 2: 'consectetuer' } ``` I have an ID and a string, like: ``` var id = 6; var str = 'adipiscing'; ``` Now, I would like to insert the `id` between `0` and `1` (for example) and it should be like: ``` data = { 0: 'lorem', 6: 'adipiscing', 1: 'dolor sit', 2: 'consectetuer' } ``` How can I do this? Is there any jQuery solution for this?
