JSON: Nested Array

See more JSON Examples

Here we have a JSON object that contains nested arrays. This example demonstrates how to access the contents of the nested arrays.

{
 "numbers" : [ 
    ["even", 2, 4, 6, 8], 
    ["prime", 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13] 
  ] }

    var success = false;

    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();

    //  This is the above JSON with whitespace chars removed (SPACE, TAB, CR, and LF chars).
    //  The presence of whitespace chars for pretty-printing makes no difference to the Load
    //  method. 
    var jsonStr = "{ \"numbers\" : [ [\"even\", 2, 4, 6, 8], [\"prime\", 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13] ] }";

    success = json.Load(jsonStr);

    //  Get the value of the "numbers" object, which is an array that contains JSON arrays.

    for (i = 0; i <= numArrays - 1; i++) {

        // innerArray: JsonArray
