Reading a json encoded array in javascript

Question

This php function returns a json encoded object to a javascript through ajax. I create a variable with this json object with stringify.

var event_id = JSON.strin         


        

Answer 1

Don't stringify it. It's already a valid JavaScript object, so just access it directly with:

rdata.event_id[0]["0"];
// e20111129215359

// Or read them in a loop
for (var i=0; i

The value rdata.event_id is an array [] containing a bunch of object literals {} each having just one property "0". Since the property is a number instead of a string, you need to use the ["0"] syntax to access it, rather than the normal object dot operator.
