How to access fields in JSON object by index
- by Stefan
I know this isn't the best way to do it, but I have no other choice :(
I have to access the items in JSONObject by their index. The standard way to access objects is to just wirte this[objectName] or this.objectName. I also found a method to get all the fields inside a json object:
(for (var key in p) {
if (p.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
alert(key + " -> " + p[key]);
}
}
(Soruce : Loop through Json object).
However there is no way of accessing the JSONfields directly by a index. The only way I see right now, is to create an array, with the function above, get the fieldname by index and then get the value by fieldname.
As far as I see it, the p (in our case the JSON file must be an iteratable array to, or else the foreach loop wouldn't work. How can I access this array directly? Or is it some kind of unsorted list?
