Question

BackGround : I am trying to parse this simple json response in my SenchaTouch Application.

json response:

{
    "Australia": 
    [
        {
            "Currency": "AustralianDollar",
        }
    ],
    "INDIA": 
    [
        {
            "Currency": "INR"
        }
    ],
    "USA": 
    [
        {
            "Currency": "USD"
        }
    ]
}

I want to fetch country’s currency based on the Country name.

I am trying to fetch the currency value as below.

var country = text.Australia.name;
console.log('Country name is'+country);

but it gives me error. Can any one please explain on how to parse give country name as input and fetch the currency?

Thank you,

Answer 1

The simplest way to do it is:

var obj = eval("(" + text+ ')');

Check out json.org for better/safer ways to do it.

Working example here.

Check out this compatibility chart for using JSON.parse(text);.
