Question

A webservice returns this JSON below

[
  {
"companyuserId": "2",
"name": "mike jones",
"superiorname": null,
"departmentId": "26",
"departmentname": "Design",
"companyId": "06",
"UDID": "8df912053a16ab2b4c66a",
"isActive": "1",
"devicetoken": "e8a4c1fad76b45d918f6745bfe60d32a81504",
"email": "[e-mail]",
"phone": "5456465465654"
  }
 ]

Thought it would be straight forward

            name = data.name;
            phone = data.phone;
            email = data.email;
            departmentname = data.departmentname;
            companyId = data.companyId;

But I’m getting undefined, How else can I do this? I think maybe the data maybe in string format because when I alert data I get the result as pasted above rather than object: Object

Answer 1

That is an array of Objects.. And the Object is the First item inside an array.. So you need to use the index to access the object inside it..

So instead of name = data.name; try this name = data[0].name;

            name = data[0].name;
            phone = data[0].phone;
            email = data[0].email;
            departmentname = data[0].departmentname;
            companyId = data[0].companyId;
