I'm having some problems with converting some JSON and I'm after some help. This is my problem, I have JSON returned the following:
Example of the JSON recieved (from a CSV file):
[
{
rating: 0,
title: The Killing Kind,
author: John Connolly,
type: Book,
asin: 0340771224,
tags: ,
review: i still haven't had time to read this one...
},
{
rating: 0,
title: The Third Secret,
author: Steve Berry,
type: Book,
asin: 0340899263,
tags: ,
review: need to find time to read this book
},
cut for brevity
]
Now, this is a one dimensional array of objects, but I have a function that I need to pass this to that will ONLY take a multidimensional array. There's nothing I can change on this. I've been looking around the web for conversion and came across this code:
if (! obj.length) { return [];} // length must be set on the object, or it is not iterable
var a = [];
try {
a = Array.prototype.slice.call(obj, n);
}
// IE 6 and posssibly other browsers will throw an exception, so catch it and use brute force
catch(e) {
Core.batch(obj, function(o, i) {
if (n <= i) {
a[i - n] = o;
}
});
}
return a;
But my code keeps getting stuck on the no object length part. When I iterate through each object, I get character by character. Unfortunately, those field names (rating, title, author), etc are not set in stone and I can't access anything using the obj.Field notation.
I'm stuck on this; is there a way to convert those objects into arrays, or do I have to go back to the beginning and dump JSON?
