I have a json array parsed from an api as such:
An I want to parse the pageid.
I could do console.log(parsed_json["query"]["pages"]["42743"]["pageid"]) but everytime that "42743" under pages changes.
How could I parse the name under pages so I could use:
console.log(parsed_json["query"]["pages"][" >> ID << "]["pageid"])
Assuming the pages object will only ever have that one, enumerable key, you could do;
var pages = parsed_json.query.pages;
var page;
for (var x in pages) {
if (pages.hasOwnProperty(x)) {
page = x;
}
}
// use pages[page].pageid;
... this enumerates the properties, and records the last one that was enumerated. break on the first or whatever if you need. For laughs, this could be cleaner in ES5:
var pages = parsed_json.query.pages;
var page = Object.keys(pages)[0];
// use pages[page].pageid;
