json object with nested objects

Question

If you have the below:

var test = '{"0":"1", "2":"3"}';

if produces object 0: 1 2: 3

How do I create a object with like object: object: 0: 1 2: 3 object: 4: 5 6: 7

I have tried:

var test = '[{"0":"1", "2":"3"}]';

or

var test = '{"0": {"0":"1", "2":"3"}}';

• A. Wolff: i don't understand what you want exaclty, your pseudo code doesn't help much and btw your test variable doesn't produce what you say it produces, it is a string, so what are you expecting?

Answer 1

Just create an array. And push the object into an array.

var obj = {};
 obj["0"] = "1";
 obj["2"] = "3";
var wObj = {};
 wObj["0"] = obj;
console.log(wObj);

This is nested object example. Check Fiddle

2nd Example object inside an array

var obj = {};
 obj["0"] = "1";
 obj["2"] = "3";
var wObj = [];
wObj.push(obj);
console.log(wObj);

• Mike Oltmans: Could you give an example
• Mike Oltmans: Can you build the same thing in a single string I am going to use JSON.parse to make the string in to a nested object set
• Sushanth --: Your string should be in the form of Array of objects [{"0":"1"}, {"2":"3"}];

Answer 2

You are using strings instead of JSON. You can simply use {} to define objects and [] to define arrays and "key" : value syntax for key-value pairs.

var objA = { "0": "1", "2": "3" };
var objB = { "4": "5", "6": "7" };
var test = { "0": objA, "1": objB };

or in one line

var test = { "0": { "0": "1", "2": "3" }, "1": { "4": "5", "6": "7" } };

If you need to parse JSON strings then you can use

var test = JSON.parse('{ "0": { "0": "1", "2": "3" }, "1": { "4": "5", "6": "7" } }');

• A. Wolff: This is a nice answer!

Answer 3

Like this

var test = '[{"0":"1", "2":"3"}, {"0":"3", "1":"2"}]'

{"0":"1", "2":"3"} Is your first object

{"0":"3", "1":"2"} Is your second

All encapsulated in one array.

• A. Wolff: here test is a string
• A. Wolff: But why are you wrapping it in quotes?
• Mike Oltmans: That worked!! I swear I tried that exact same setup must have had a syntax error in mine. Ill give you a green check in 6 minutes ><
• A. Wolff: @MikeOltmans could you provide a sample of what 'it works' because here doesn't make sense at all!...
• Ma3x: @roasted: Well the array with 2 objects should work, but the question was misleading asking for JSON object with nested objects.
