Get single value from JSON object

Question

I am using Google Maps API with jQuery getJSON:

$.getJSON(requestUrl, function(data) {
        var distance = //need to parse value from \'data\' object here
            


        

Answer 1

data.rows.forEach(function(value){ 
    value.elements.forEach(function(childValue) {
      console.log(childValue.distance.text);
    });
});

The above nested forEach should get you the distance value.

Answer 2

$.getJSON(requestUrl, function(data) {
    var distance = data.rows[0].elements[0].distance.text;
});

Pretty simple, but I do want to know if you'll ever get more then one row or element from your function?

Answer 3

var json = JSON.parse(data);
distance= json["rows"]["elements"]["distance"]["text"];

Hope it helps
