appending to json file in javascript

Question

I have a json file, employees.json, that I would like to append data to this object. The file looks like this:

var txt = \'{\"employees\":[\' +
\'{\"firstNam         


        

Answer 1

var data = JSON.parse(txt);  //parse the JSON
data.employees.push({        //add the employee
    firstName:"Mike",
    lastName:"Rut",
    time:"10:00 am",
    email:"rut@bah.com",
    phone:"800-888-8888",
    image:"images/mike.jpg"
});
txt = JSON.stringify(data);  //reserialize to JSON

Answer 2

JSON stands for Javascript object notation so this could simply be a javascript object

var obj = {employees:[
    {
      firstname:"jerry"
      ... and so on ...
     }
]};

When you want to add an object you can simply do:

object.employees.push({
   firstname: "Mike",
   lastName: "rut"
    ... and so on ....
});
