I have similar to next json:
{
'igor': {'password': '12345678', 'color': 'white'),
'ruslan': {'password': '87654321', 'color': 'black')
}
And also have variable
var name = 'igor';
How can I get password value, using this variable to detect name? I tried next:
obj[name['password']]
But it returns undefined; also tried:
obj.name['password']
As well it returns undefined. How should I get that value? Thanks.
As Nano commented, to access "password" for the object with the key "igor" you need to use obj[name]['password']. This is because you have two objects one with "igor" as the key, and one as "ruslan" as the key. You could also use
var igor = obj['igor'];
var igorsPassword = igor['password'];
In addition unixarmy's form is not wrong, and the following is correct.
var igor = obj.igor;
var igorsPassword = igor.password;
That being said however, if the property name has spaces in it it must be accessed using the obj['property name'] form, it cannot be done with obj.property name since the space between property and name serves as a syntax separator when not in a string/regular expression.
obj[property] form is still very much valid.Your JSON example is not valid!
Anyway, you can use the following syntax: obj[name].property.
obj[name]['password']
