JSON Object array inside array find and replace in javascript

Question

I have one JSON Object like this :

var myObject = [    
{
    \"Name\" : \"app1\",
    \"id\" : \"1\",
    \"groups\" : [
        { \"id\" : \"test1\", 
             


        

Answer 1

The following function will search through an object and all of its child objects/arrays, and replace the key with the new value. It will apply globally, so it won't stop after the first replacement. Uncomment the commented line to make it that way.

function findAndReplace(object, value, replacevalue) {
  for (var x in object) {
    if (object.hasOwnProperty(x)) {
      if (typeof object[x] == 'object') {
        findAndReplace(object[x], value, replacevalue);
      }
      if (object[x] == value) { 
        object["name"] = replacevalue;
        // break; // uncomment to stop after first replacement
      }
    }
  }
}
