I have this simple variable which I am trying to extract data from. I've parsed it successfully to a json object and tried to print a value based on it a key. But all it says is "undefined". This example I provided is actually a snippet of the json I am trying to manipulate. The full file is actually a json object where one of the elements contains an array of many json objects (these are the ones I ultimately have to access). I have watched countless tutorials and have followed them exactly, but none seem to have this issue.
const x = `{
"status": "ok",
"userTier": "developer",
"total": 2314500,
"startIndex": 1,
"pageSize": 10,
"currentPage": 1,
"pages": 231450,
"orderBy": "newest"
}`;
JSON.parse(x);
console.log(x.status);
Can anybody suggest something I may be doing wrong? Thank you!
JSON.parse Return valueThe Object, Array, string, number, boolean, or null value corresponding to the given JSON text. - MDN
You have to assign the parsed result to some variable/constant from where you can use later that parsed value and then use that variable to extract data as:
const x = `{
"status": "ok",
"userTier": "developer",
"total": 2314500,
"startIndex": 1,
"pageSize": 10,
"currentPage": 1,
"pages": 231450,
"orderBy": "newest"
}`;
const parsedData = JSON.parse(x);
console.log(parsedData.status);or you can directly get value one time after parsed as:
const x = `{
"status": "ok",
"userTier": "developer",
"total": 2314500,
"startIndex": 1,
"pageSize": 10,
"currentPage": 1,
"pages": 231450,
"orderBy": "newest"
}`;
console.log(JSON.parse(x).status);
