How to get one value from JSON format using JS

January 3, 2022

I would like to get only one data type from a JSON file using JS.
the field that I want to get is "name".
the JSON format is:

{"countries":
 {"country":[
  {"id":"1","name":"Europe","active":"on","dir":"yes"}, 
  {"id":"2","name":"Africa","active":"on","dir":"yes"},
  {"id":"3","name":"North America","active":"on","dir":"yes"}, 
 ]}
}

the require result is:
Europe
Africa
North America

Thanks for the help

>Solution :

This has nothing to do with JSON. Your code represents a (javascript) Object literal/initializer.

From that Object you can map the name property of each entry of the nested array from countries.country.

const myObj = { "countries":
 {"country":[
  {"id":"1","name":"Europe","active":"on","dir":"yes"}, 
  {"id":"2","name":"Africa","active":"on","dir":"yes"},
  {"id":"3","name":"North America","active":"on","dir":"yes"}, 
 ]}
};

const countryNames = myObj.countries.country.map( c => c.name );

console.log(countryNames);
