Get JSON key name [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try this code

alert(Object.keys({"success":"You are welcome"})[0]);

Answer 2

Since you're able to do json.success, you don't have "JSON data", you have a Javascript Object. JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is no more than the serialization of a Javascript object.

As other answers have stated, you can use Object.keys() to list the fields of an object.

Answer 3

Object.keys() can be called on any JavaScript object to get back a list of keys.

Answer 4

So now the problem I am facing is that, what about if I want to alert success. Is there a need way to get it ?

If your object is

var obj = {"success":"You are welcome"};

You can get the array of keys as

var keys = Object.keys(obj);

and then print it as

console.log( keys[ 0 ] ); //or console.log( keys.join(",") )

var obj = {"success":"You are welcome"};
var keys = Object.keys(obj);
console.log(keys[0]);

Answer 5

You mean something like this?

keys = Object.keys(json_object)
key_to_use = keys[0];
