Access elements in json object like an array [duplicate]

Answer 1

The your seems a multi-array, not a JSON object.

If you want access the object like an array, you have to use some sort of key/value, such as:

var JSONObject = {
  "city": ["Blankaholm, "Gamleby"],
  "date": ["2012-10-23", "2012-10-22"],
  "description": ["Blankaholm. Under natten har det varit inbrott", "E22 i med Gamleby. Singelolycka. En bilist har.],
  "lat": ["57.586174","16.521841"], 
  "long": ["57.893162","16.406090"]
}

and access it with:

JSONObject.city[0] // => Blankaholm
JSONObject.date[1] // => 2012-10-22

and so on...

or

JSONObject['city'][0] // => Blankaholm
JSONObject['date'][1] // => 2012-10-22

and so on...

or, in last resort, if you don't want change your structure, you can do something like that:

var JSONObject = {
  "data": [
    ["Blankaholm, "Gamleby"],
    ["2012-10-23", "2012-10-22"],
    ["Blankaholm. Under natten har det varit inbrott", "E22 i med Gamleby. Singelolycka. En bilist har.],
    ["57.586174","16.521841"], 
    ["57.893162","16.406090"]
  ]
}

JSONObject.data[0][1] // => Gambleby
