Getting property key from json object
26,185
Solution 1
var names = [];
for ( var o in jsonobj.Table ) {
names.push( o ); // the property name
}
In modern browsers:
var names = Object.keys( jsonobj.Table );
Solution 2
You can browse the properties of the object:
var table = jsonobj.Table;
for (var prop in table) {
if (table.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
alert(prop);
}
}
The hasOwnProperty
test is necessary to avoid including properties inherited from the prototype chain.

Preamble: I'm Italian, sorry for my bad English.
I need to retrieve the name of the property from a json object using javascript/jquery.
for example, starting from this object:
{ "Table": { "Name": "Chris", "Surname": "McDonald" } }
is there a way to get the strings "Name" and "Surname"?
something like:
//not working code, just for example var jsonobj = eval('(' + previouscode + ')'); var prop = jsonobj.Table[0].getPropertyName(); var prop2 = jsonobj.Table[1].getPropertyName(); return prop + '-' + prop2; // this will return 'Name-Surname'
