Getting specific value from JSON using javascript
javascript, json, parsing
Solution
You could take a functional approach and use the Array.filter method:
var matchingResults = JSON['data'].filter(function(x){ return x.id == 2; });
// procede to use matching elements...
Problem
I am using ajax to get a small set of data back from the server which returns JSON data with the following format: ``` { "data": [ { "id": "1", "value": "One" }, { "id": "2", "value": "Two" }, { "id": "3", "value": "Three" } ] } ``` On the client side, this is assigned to a variable named `response`. I use `response.data` to get the contents. The question is, is there an easier way to get the value without doing a loop? I'm kinda looking for something like this `response[id==2].value` which should give me "Two". I'm open for any suggestions if this is not possible.
