Question

I’m retreiving a JSON string and parsing it with jQuery with $.getJSON.

After I get the data in a variable, can I add or remove rows? An example:

{
  "one": [{
    "sid": "1",
    "name": "NAME 1"
  }, {
    "sid": "2",
    "name": "NAME 2"
  }],
  "two": [{
    "sid": "3",
    "name": "NAME 3"
  }]
}

Can I delete sid 1 from “one” and place it in “two”? How about sorting by sid? I’m using jQuery.

Answer 1

sure, you can do any of that, they are regular objects and arrays. You can sort arrays, remove their members, add members to other arrays, etc. I wouldn’t use jquery stuff, just use basic array tools, such as splice and push and pop. splice() can do most anything: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_splice.asp

Sorting is easy as well, just use sort() on the arrray.
