Question

I have a chunk of JSON which looks something like:

{   'map': [     [       'zimbraFeatureCalendarUpsellEnabled',       'FALSE'     ],     [       'zimbraPrefCalendarDayHourStart',       '8'     ],     [       'zimbraFeatureOptionsEnabled',       'TRUE'     ],     [       'zimbraAttachmentsViewInHtmlOnly',       'FALSE'     ]   ] } 

(and so on; there’s 200+ entries)

I need to be able to pick out individual key/value pairs from the JSON response, either with jQuery or plain old Javascript. I haven’t been able to figure out how to address a specific key, though. Any ideas?

What you’ve described is a single level object, with a whole bunch of nested arrays so accessing will be

myObject.map[entryNumber][0 or 1] // 0 == key, 1 == value 

You probably want something akin to this (unless you’re working with existing API or some such):

{     'map': {         'zimbraFeatureCalendarUpsellEnabled': 'FALSE',         'zimbraPrefCalendarDayHourStart': '8',          ...     } }
