JSON Objects


JSON Objects

Example
{ "name":"John", "age":30, "car":null }
JSON objects are surrounded by curly braces {}.

JSON objects is written in key/value pairs.

Keys must be strings, and values must be a valid JSON data type (string, number, object, array, boolean or null).

Keys and values are separated by a colon.

Each key/value pair is separated by a comma.

Accessing Object Values
You can access the object values by using dot (.) notation:

Example
myObj = { "name":"John", "age":30, "car":null };
x = myObj.name;
»
You can also access the object values by using bracket ([]) notation:

Example
myObj = { "name":"John", "age":30, "car":null };
x = myObj["name"];
»
Looping an Object
You can loop through object properties by using the for-in loop:

Example
myObj = { "name":"John", "age":30, "car":null };
for (x in myObj) {
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML += x;
}
»
In a for-in loop, use the bracket notation to access the property values:

Example
myObj = { "name":"John", "age":30, "car":null };
for (x in myObj) {
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML += myObj[x];
}
»
Nested JSON Objects
Values in a JSON object can be another JSON object.

Example
myObj = {
    "name":"John",
    "age":30,
    "cars": {
        "car1":"Ford",
        "car2":"BMW",
        "car3":"Fiat"
    }
 }
You can access nested JSON objects by using the dot notation or bracket notation:

Example
x = myObj.cars.car2;
//or:
x = myObj.cars["car2"];
»
Modify Values
You can use the dot notation to modify any value in a JSON object:

Example
myObj.cars.car2 = "Mercedes";
»
You can also use the bracket notation to modify a value in a JSON object:

Example
myObj.cars["car2"] = "Mercedes";
»
Delete Object Properties
Use the delete keyword to delete properties from a JSON object:

Example
delete myObj.cars.car2;
