Question

I get the following when I call response.toSource() having made a query to a google spreadsheet.

({
    ej: "0.6",
    Oe: "ok",
    gb: [],
    hb: [],
    Cg: "407260946",
    g: {
        zb: "0.6",
        z: [{
            id: "B",
            label: "",
            type: "string",
            pattern: ""}],
        D: [{
            c: [{
                v: "\"My data\""}]}],
        Na: null
    }
})​

I wish to access the string “My data” and store it in a var, how do I do this?

Answer 1

Well, “My data” is a value to the key v in an array which is a value to the key c which is stored in an array which is a value to the key D which is stored in an object with the key g. So it’s

var myData = response["g"]["D"][0]["c"][0]["v"];
