get size of JSON object
JavascriptJsonJavascript Problem Overview
i have a JSON object that gets returned by an AJAX request and I am having some trouble with the .length
because it keeps returning undefined
. Just wondering if I'm using it right:
console.log(data.length);
console.log(data.phones.length);
They both return undefined
even though they are valid objects.
Update:
Sample of the JSON object returned:
{"reqStatus":true,"phones":{"one":{"number":"XXXXXXXXXX","type":"mobile"},"two":{"number":"XXXXXXXXXX","type":"mobile"}}}
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
You can use something like this
var myObject = {'name':'Kasun', 'address':'columbo','age': '29'}
var count = Object.keys(myObject).length; console.log(count);
Solution 2 - Javascript
Your problem is that your phones object doesn't have a length property (unless you define it somewhere in the JSON that you return) as objects aren't the same as arrays, even when used as associative arrays. If the phones object was an array it would have a length. You have two options (maybe more).
-
Change your JSON structure (assuming this is possible) so that 'phones' becomes
"phones":[{"number":"XXXXXXXXXX","type":"mobile"},{"number":"XXXXXXXXXX","type":"mobile"}]
(note there is no word-numbered identifier for each phone as they are returned in a 0-indexed array). In this response phones.length
will be valid.
-
Iterate through the objects contained within your phones object and count them as you go, e.g.
var key, count = 0; for(key in data.phones) { if(data.phones.hasOwnProperty(key)) { count++; } }
If you're only targeting new browsers option 2 could look like this
Solution 3 - Javascript
you dont need to change your JSON format.
replace:
console.log(data.phones.length);
with:
console.log( Object.keys( data.phones ).length ) ;
Solution 4 - Javascript
Consider using underscore.js. It will allow you to check the size i.e. like that:
var data = {one : 1, two : 2, three : 3};
_.size(data);
//=> 3
_.keys(data);
//=> ["one", "two", "three"]
_.keys(data).length;
//=> 3
Solution 5 - Javascript
var json=[{"id":"431","code":"0.85.PSFR01215","price":"2457.77","volume":"23.0","total":"565.29"},{"id":"430","code":"0.85.PSFR00608","price":"1752.45","volume":"4.0","total":"70.1"},{"id":"429","code":"0.84.SMAB00060","price":"4147.5","volume":"2.0","total":"82.95"},{"id":"428","code":"0.84.SMAB00050","price":"4077.5","volume":"3.0","total":"122.32"}]
var obj = JSON.parse(json);
var length = Object.keys(obj).length; //you get length json result 4
Solution 6 - Javascript
try this
$.parseJSON(data).length
Solution 7 - Javascript
use this one
Object.keys(jsonObject).length
Solution 8 - Javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#count_my_data').click(function () {
var count = 0;
while (true) {
try {
var v1 = mydata[count].TechnologyId.toString();
count = count + 1;
}
catch (e)
{ break; }
}
alert(count);
});
});
