How can I accurately return nested values from JSON for comparison and then complete the comparison?

I have asked a similar question before but I've not been able to expand on this and I haven't found the exact answer that would teach me how to do this. My JSON file will have the same structure in terms of the element names inside each nested object but the values will vary. In plain English, I want to start at the bottom of the file and return true if the following conditions occur and stop searching if true: AppStatus is one of these ["Approved", "Auto Approved", "Return"] and the nested keys of "Name": "Payments", "Value": "X" and "Name": "Term", "Value": "Y" have values that don't match. I'm providing a snippet of the JSON so you can see more easily. The AppStatus is 2nd level and the Name, Value are 3rd level. In this example, it should return true based on the 2nd set of data in DataElements.
{
"DecisionHistory": [
{
"Id": "273601",
"Number": "1",
"CreateDate": "2022-10-13 15:31:18.683",
"AppStatus": "Approved",
"DataElements": [
{
"Id": "213922",
"Name": "Payments",
"Value": "72",
"GroupId": "12",
"CustomLabel": null
},
{
"Id": "990",
"Name": "Decisioned By",
"Value": "ASDF",
"GroupId": "3",
"CustomLabel": null
},
{
"Id": "215337",
"Name": "Term",
"Value": "75",
"GroupId": "13",
"CustomLabel": null
}
]
},
{
"Id": "273601",
"Number": "2",
"CreateDate": "2022-10-13 15:31:18.683",
"AppStatus": "Approved",
"DataElements": [
{
"Id": "213922",
"Name": "Payments",
"Value": "72",
"GroupId": "12",
"CustomLabel": null
},
{
"Id": "990",
"Name": "Decisioned By",
"Value": "ASDF",
"GroupId": "3",
"CustomLabel": null
},
{
"Id": "215337",
"Name": "Term",
"Value": "75",
"GroupId": "13",
"CustomLabel": null
}
]
},
{
"Id": "273601",
"Number": "3",
"CreateDate": "2022-10-13 15:31:18.683",
"AppStatus": "Approved",
"DataElements": [
{
"Id": "213922",
"Name": "Payments",
"Value": "75",
"GroupId": "12",
"CustomLabel": null
},
{
"Id": "990",
"Name": "Decisioned By",
"Value": "ASDF",
"GroupId": "3",
"CustomLabel": null
},
{
"Id": "215337",
"Name": "Term",
"Value": "75",
"GroupId": "13",
"CustomLabel": null
}
]
}
]
}
I've tried using 2 ugly nested for loops without success. I would prefer not to use for loops if I don't have to. See below:
function main(jsonFile) {
const history = JSON.parse(jsonFile).DecisionHistory;
const appStatus = ["Approved", "Auto Approved", "Return"];
const termMonths = "TermMonths";
const numberOfPayments = "Number of Payments";
let termMonthsVal = 0;
let numberofPaymentsVal = 0;
for (let a = history.length - 1; a >= 0; a--) {
if (appStatus.includes(history[a].AppStatus)) {
var dataElementsA = history[a].DataElements;
for (let b = (dataElementsA.length) - 1; b >= 0; b--) {
if (dataElementsA[b].Name == termMonths) {
termMonthsVal = new Number((dataElementsA[b].Value));
break;
}
}
}
}
for (let a = history.length - 1; a >= 0; a--) {
if (appStatus.includes(history[a].AppStatus)) {
var dataElementsB = history[a].DataElements;
for (let b = (dataElementsB.length) - 1; b >= 0; b--) {
if (dataElementsB[b].Name == numberOfPayments) {
numberofPaymentsVal = new Number((dataElementsB[b].Value));
break;
}
}
}
}
return (termMonthsVal != numberofPaymentsVal);
}
let jsonFile = `{
"DecisionHistory": [{

]
}
]
}`;
console.log(main(jsonFile));
//var result = main("_inJson");
//module.exports = main;
As a side note, the jsonFile in the main function is read in from a resource folder in my VS Code and I'm exporting main to an app.js so I can run assertions against it. So the JSON posted here is actually in a separate file but this is the exact structure of the data.
What am I missing? .filter? .map? .reduce? Differnt breaks?

Here's a "one-liner" depending on how long you want your lines to be ;)
const x = {
"DecisionHistory": [
{
"AppStatus": "Approved",
"DataElements": [
{
"Name": "Payments",
"Value": "72",
},
{
"Name": "Decisioned By",
"Value": "ASDF",
},
{
"Name": "Term",
"Value": "75",
}
]
},
{
"AppStatus": "Approved",
"DataElements": [
{
"Name": "Payments",
"Value": "72",
},
{
"Name": "Decisioned By",
"Value": "ASDF",
},
{
"Name": "Term",
"Value": "75",
}
]
},
{
"AppStatus": "Approved",
"DataElements": [
{
"Name": "Payments",
"Value": "75",
},
{
"Name": "Decisioned By",
"Value": "ASDF",
},
{
"Name": "Term",
"Value": "75",
}
]
}
]
};
const bar = (f) =>
f.DecisionHistory.reverse().some((decision) => ["Approved", "Auto Approved", "Return"].includes(decision.AppStatus) && decision.DataElements.find((el) => el.Name === 'Payments')?.Value !== decision.DataElements.find((el) => el.Name === 'Term')?.Value);
console.log(bar(x));

Error when I try to parse my json

I am using AngularJs doing a simple application And I want to set a variable up in a javascript file in orther to call a json file.
This is my data.js :
[{
var data = require('data_old.json');
var json = JSON.parse(data);
alert(json["date"]); //01/05/2016
alert(json.date); //01/05/2016

}, {

"qte": "15"
}, {
"id": "sssub03",
"name": "nameSssub3",

}]
}]
}, {

}, {

"price": "10",
"qte": "5"
}]
}]
And this is my data.json
[{
"date":"01/05/2016"
}]
I call my data here.
angular.module("myApp",['zingchart-angularjs'])
.controller('MainController', ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http) {
$scope.chartBase = {
"type": "line",
"plotarea": {

"text": "Above is an example of a category scale" /* Add a scale title with a label object. */
},
"labels": ["name1", "name2", "name3"] /* Add your scale labels with a labels array. */
},
"series": [{
"values": [15, 18, 11] //here the prices of city selected
},{
"values": [10, 11, 14] //here the qte of city selected
}]
};
$scope.chartData = angular.copy($scope.chartBase);
$http.get('data.js')
.then(function(response) {
$scope.cities = response.data; // save the request data
$scope.selectedCity = $scope.cities[0]; // select the first one
$scope.changeCity(); // update chart
}, function(error) { console.log(error); });
$scope.changeCity = function() {
if($scope.selectedSubCity || $scope.selectedCity){ // if something has been selected
$scope.data = ($scope.selectedSubCity || $scope.selectedCity).elements; // update elements field
// initialize the array to be displayed in chart
var labels = [];
var price = {
"values": []
};
var qte = {

};
// fill the arrays to be displayed from the selected city (sub city)
angular.forEach($scope.data, function(item, index) {
labels.push(item.name);
price.values.push(parseInt(item.price));
qte.values.push(parseInt(item.qte));
});
console.log($scope.chartData)
// put selected values to the field that is used to render the chart
$scope.chartData["scale-x"].labels = labels;
$scope.chartData.series = [ price, qte ];
}
}
}]);
When I run this, the browser tell that I have this error :
SyntaxError: Unexpected token v in JSON at position 5
at Object.parse (native)

You can't have those in your data.js file as they are not valid JSON
var data = require('data_old.json');
var json = JSON.parse(data);
alert(json["date"]); //01/05/2016
alert(json.date); //01/05/2016
The error is pointing to the first "v" of "var". You can test your JSON here http://json.parser.online.fr/ on some other online validator.
Your file should look like this:
[{

var data = require('data_old.json');
var json = JSON.parse(data);
alert(json["date"]); //01/05/2016
alert(json.date); //01/05/2016
Why do you add those at the beginning of the JSON ? They cannot be parsed by your script, thus displaying the Syntax Error. What do you want to do exactly ?

validation of my code json

I am developping a simple application in AngularJs in the first time I create a script js but later I need to change it to json file so I need to validate this code json :

A JSON Validator tells me that my code json is not correct.
Please anybody could help me !

The problem with comments and some of values doesn't contain , and some contains in the last value.(For example : 'json': {
'value1': 14,
'value2':14, // , is not allowed in the last line
}) Also last line can't contain ; after }]
Use this for validation jsonlint
This is correct json:

the problem is that you have comments in your JSON. This is not allowed in pure json.
In addition you have some syntax errors:
Line 8 :"text": "échelle essence gazoile", the , has to be removed because it is the last property of the object
Line 26: "name": "name2', change the singlequote to a doublequote
Line 27: "price": "18,: add a doublequote at the end
Last line: }]; remove the semicolon
This is your valid json:
[{
"type": "line",
"plotarea": {
"adjust-layout": true
},
"scale-x": {
"label": {
"text": "échelle essence gazoile"
},

Improve this question
I have been taking some online courses recently to try and understand the basics of programming, Gradually trying to increase the complexity of what I am learning. However I cannot seem to be able to control the output of my loop, I either get the last value or [object,object object,object object, object,object]
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am sure this is quite simple but I have tried for in's for's and for each's and no luck so far.

I am hoping someone can maybe help with controlling the output of the loop.

You haven't showed any code, but I can guess that your problem is something typical in JavaScript:
JavaScript closure inside loops – simple practical example
Check out neurosnap's answer.
http://coffeescript.org/#loops
In CoffeeScript it's even simpler:
for filename in list
do (filename) ->
fs.readFile filename, (err, contents) ->
compile filename, contents.toString()
Basically, you need a lambda/IIFE inside the for loop in JavaScript to loop to avoid your problem.

Remove element from JSON array recursively

In this example i have some elements that looks like this:
"children": [{
"id": "",
"parent": "",
"industry": "",
"industry_id": "",
"name": "",
"percentage": "",
"report": "",
"description": "",
"subsidiary": "",
"children": ""
}
What i would like to achive is to eliminate this "childrens" from the original array.
So far i've tried this function but it doesn't work the way i want:
function deleteEmpty(data){
if (data.children.length)
{
nr = data.children.length;
for (i=0;i<nr;i++)
{
// console.log(data.children[i]);
if (data.children[i]["id"] == ""){
console.log(data.children[i]);
delete data.children[i];
}
this.deleteEmpty(data.children[i]);
}
}
return data;
}
Also i have creatd a jsfiddle here : http://jsfiddle.net/fP7NS/2/
Please help me out or give me some hints with what i am doing wrong.

First (if necessary) turn your JSON string into an object. Your children property is sometimes an array, sometimes an empty array, and sometimes an empty string. This makes the logic a bit awkward. i suggest you write a function that tests whether a particular child is empty. Then you can write your main loop like this:
function isEmpty(node) {
// logic for testing that a node is empty
}
function deleteEmptyChildren(node) {
// assumes node is not empty
if (Array.isArray(node.children)) {
node.children = node.children.filter(
function(child) {
if (isEmpty(child)) {
return false;
} else {
deleteEmptyChildren(child);
return true;
}
}
);
}
}
