Im new to JSON and I have to deal with a complex one.
Please see image below:
It has an error:
I don't know how to properly separate the 2 json arrays. I even tried to use : instead of , on line 18 but I still get errors. BTW, I use http://jsonlint.com/ to validate.
On line 2 you gave a key, but failed to do so on line 19. You have to keep the structure.
Remove the key on line 2, they shouldn't be used for arrays in that way.
Edit: In addition, you are trying to put arrays right in objects, switch the opening and ending object marks ({}) with ([]) for arrays on your first and last line.
[
[
{...},
{...},
...
{...}
],
[
{...},
{...},
...
{...}
],
...
[
{...},
{...},
...
{...}
]
]
I believe the correct way to build this JSON should be:
{
"glEntries": [
{
"generalLedgerId":1,
"accountId": 34,
"amount" : 32334.23,
"descripction": "desc1",
"debit" : "Yes"
},
{
"generalLedgerId":2,
"accountId": 35,
"amount" : 323.23,
"descripction": "desc",
"debit" : "Yes"
},
...
]
}
There are many ways to construct JSON data, but it depends on your data and the way you want to present it. Here are a couple examples - hope it helps:
{
"glEntries": [
{
"object1-prop1": "one"
},
{
"object2-prop1": 1,
"object2-prop2": "two"
},
{
"object3-prop1": [
"a",
"r",
"r",
"a",
"y"
],
"object3-prop1.1": "string"
}
],
"otherEntries": [
{
"objectx": "x"
},
{
"objecty": "y"
},
{
"objectz": [
1,
2,
3,
4
]
}
],
"oneEntry": "json"
}
Other Example:
[
{
"obj1-prop": 222
},
{
"obj2-prop": "object2"
},
{
"obj3-prop": "Object3"
},
[
"a",
"r",
"r",
"a",
"y",
777,
888
],
"string",
178,
{
"objectProp": "testing123"
}
]
You have more {} than needed and will make parsing your JSON more difficult:
Structure will work a lot better like this:
{"glentries":[
{ "property1":"value", "property2" : "value",..... "lastProperty": "value"},
{ "property1":"value", "property2" : "value",..... "lastProperty": "value"},
{ "property1":"value", "property2" : "value",..... "lastProperty": "value"}
]
}
Now glentries is an array of objects that have multiple properties to them.
alert( glentries[0].property2 )
The parent structure is an Object, so it is expecting a string Key for the second array. It it's supposed to be an array of arrays, you should be using an array and not an Object.
