Question

I’m trying to print out “message”

JSON:

[{"outcome":false,"message":"This is the message"}]

I’ve tried 3 things, here are the outcomes of them…

console.log(msg) => [{"outcome":false,"message":"Your account is pending beta activation"}] (this is fine)

var x = $.parseJSON(msg);

console.log(x) gives me an object

console.log(x.message) gives me undefined

What’s the correct way to access msg.message, if not like that?

Answer 1

You have an Object in an Array. Use index 0.

x[0].message;

---

If you’re anticipating more Objects in the Array, you can use $.each to iterate the Array.

$.each(x, function(i, obj) {
    console.log(obj.message);
});
