Question

I am having some trouble here, my json data is outputting as follows:

{"date":[{"day_w":"Tuesday","day_n":"28","month":"Dec"}],"subscriptions":[{"subscribe":"example1"},{"subscribe":"example2"},{"subscribe":"example3"}]}

I am using the jQuery code:

$.getJSON("example.php",function(data){

$.each(data.subscriptions, function(i, item) {
    var subscribeData = "<li>"+ item.subscribe +"</li>";
    $('#list').append(subscribeData);
});

but I am having an issue grabbing the date array. I don’t want to have to use .each because there is only one array holding the date. Does this make sense? Can anyone please help?

Answer 1

Why is date an array at all? Why not just have the object in there directly?

{"date":{"day_w":"Tuesday","day_n":"28","month":"Dec"},"subscriptions":[...

If that’s not an option, you can just access date[0]:

doSomethingWith(data.date[0].day_w);
