Question

I’m not able to fetch the value from “statisticalEvidence” in the below JSON output as “key”,”value” pair.

JSON Output:

{
    "query": {
        "count": 1,
        "lang": "en-US",
        "results": {
            "entities": {
                "total": "10",
                "lang": "en-US",
                "entity": [
                    {
                    "id": "FZZNDK3XM3VIPLW76QHCAYF2D4",
                    "rank": "10",
                    "scores": {
                        "score": {
                            "attribute": "contentCreator",
                            "context": "yct:001000012",
                            "value": "1.0",
                            "statisticalEvidence": "\"{\"totalNoOfAbusiveComments\":0,\"totalNoOfThumbsDown\":22,\"totalNoOfPositiveRatedComments\":70,\"totalNoOfReplies\":8,\"totalNoOfLikedComments\":20,\"totalNoOfEngagingReplies\":13,\"totalNoOfThumbsUp\":35,\"totalNoOfComments\":79}\""
                        }
                    }}
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

I’m able to fetch the “id” as below:

$.get(url,function(data) {
    var json = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
    for(var i in json.query.results.entities.entity){
    var id = json.query.results.entities.entity[i].id;
        }
});

Kindly suggest how to fetch the values in statisticalEvidence as a array.

Answer 1

Try below,

//should return the string
var se = json.query.results.entities.entity[i].scores.score.statisticalEvidence 

Then use $.parseJSON

se = $.parseJSON(se);

Full code:

$.get(url,function(data) {
    var json = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
    for(var i in json.query.results.entities.entity){
       var id = json.query.results.entities.entity[i].id;
       var se = $.parseJSON(json.query.results.entities.entity[i].scores.score.statisticalEvidence);
    }
});

Note: statisticalEvidence in your data is an Object not an Array.
