I have the following JSON object:
[
{
"comments": [
{
"created_at": "2011-02-09T14:42:42-08:00",
"thumb": "xxxxxxx",
"level": 1,
"id": 214,
"user_id": 41,
"parent_id": 213,
"content": "<p>xxxxxx</p>",
"full_name": "xx K"
},
{
"created_at": "2011-02-09T14:41:23-08:00",
"thumb": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"level": 0,
"id": 213,
"user_id": 19,
"parent_id": null,
"content": "<p>this is another test</p>",
"full_name": "asd asd asd asd asd"
}
],
"eee1": "asdadsdas",
"eee2": "bbbbb"
}
]
This is coming from a $.ajax request, in success I have....
success: function (dataJS) {
console.log(dataJS);
console.log(dataJS[eee1]);
console.log(dataJS.comments);
}
Problem is I can't get access to the items in the JSON object, even though dataJS does show correctly in the console. Ideas?
That's because your base object is an array as well.
console.log(dataJS[0].comments[0]);
I suspect that would work
the JSON you have coming back is actually an array itself, so...
dataJS[0].comments[0].created_at
will be 2011-02-09T14:42:42-08:00, etc...
Both dataJS and comments are arrays, and need indexes to access the appropriate elements.
The object being returned is itself an array, so to get to the first comment (as an example), this is how you would access it:
dataJS[0].comments[0]
