Complex JSON nesting of objects and arrays

Question

I am having difficultly with syntax and structure of JSON objects/arrays.

{ 
  \"accounting\" : [   
                     { \"firstName\" : \"John\",  
              


        

Answer 1

You can try use this function to find any object in nested nested array of arrays of kings.

Example

function findTByKeyValue (element, target){
        var found = true;
        for(var key in target) { 
            if (!element.hasOwnProperty(key) || element[key] !== target[key])   { 
                found = false;
                break;
            }
        }
        if(found) {
            return element;
        }
        if(typeof(element) !== "object") { 
            return false;
        }
        for(var index in element) { 
            var result = findTByKeyValue(element[index],target);
            if(result) { 
                return result; 
            }
        } 
    };

findTByKeyValue(problems,{"name":"somethingElse","strength":"500 mg"}) =====> result equal to object associatedDrug#2
