I was using s3 select to fetch selective data and display them on my front end .
I converted array of byte to buffer and then to string like below as string
let dataString = Buffer.concat(records).toString('utf8');
the result i got was string like below
{"id":"1","obj1":"191.25","obj2":"11.81","obj3":"3.44","obj4":"15.62"}
{"id":"2","obj1":"642.00","obj2":"4.33","obj3":"0.00","obj4":"11.33"}
{"id":"3","obj1":"153.76","obj2":"94.77","obj3":"16.80","obj4":"29.79"}
{"id":"4","obj1":"61.71","obj2":"0.43","obj3":"0.00","obj4":"8.14"}
{"id":"5","obj1":"194.33","obj2":"108.89","obj3":"14.13","obj4":"168.60"}
{"id":"6","obj1":"204.31","obj2":"137.41","obj3":"34.76","obj4":"193.16"}
{"id":"7","obj1":"199.53","obj2":"34.53","obj3":"16.29","obj4":"26.56"}
{"id":"8","obj1":"77.33","obj2":"5.00","obj3":"12.50","obj4":"0.00"}
{"id":"9","obj1":"128.54","obj2":"101.60","obj3":"15.76","obj4":"46.23"}
{"id":"10","obj1":"107.00","obj2":"116.67","obj3":"34.42","obj4":"8.75"}
{"id":"12","obj1":"206.05","obj2":"155.03","obj3":"36.96","obj4":"148.99"}
{"id":"13","obj1":"133.93","obj2":"142.79","obj3":"39.91","obj4":"98.30"}
Now i want to convert them to json array , i got a solution like below
let dataArray = dataString.split('\n');
//remove white spaces and commas etc
dataArray = dataArray.filter(d=> d.length >2);
//change string to json
dataArray = dataArray.map(d=> JSON.parse(d));
Now the problem is that i have splitted them with new line and wont work if the json is compressed or data itself can have new line.
What is the best way to handle this situation. i want the output like below
[{"id":"1","obj1":"191.25","obj2":"11.81","obj3":"3.44","obj4":"15.62"},
{"id":"2","obj1":"642.00","obj2":"4.33","obj3":"0.00","obj4":"11.33"},
{"id":"3","obj1":"153.76","obj2":"94.77","obj3":"16.80","obj4":"29.79"},
{"id":"4","obj1":"61.71","obj2":"0.43","obj3":"0.00","obj4":"8.14"},
{"id":"5","obj1":"194.33","obj2":"108.89","obj3":"14.13","obj4":"168.60"},
{"id":"6","obj1":"204.31","obj2":"137.41","obj3":"34.76","obj4":"193.16"},
{"id":"7","obj1":"199.53","obj2":"34.53","obj3":"16.29","obj4":"26.56"},
{"id":"8","obj1":"77.33","obj2":"5.00","obj3":"12.50","obj4":"0.00"},
{"id":"9","obj1":"128.54","obj2":"101.60","obj3":"15.76","obj4":"46.23"},
{"id":"10","obj1":"107.00","obj2":"116.67","obj3":"34.42","obj4":"8.75"},
{"id":"12","obj1":"206.05","obj2":"155.03","obj3":"36.96","obj4":"148.99"},
{"id":"13","obj1":"133.93","obj2":"142.79","obj3":"39.91","obj4":"98.30"}
]

please take a look at this solution.
let dataString=`{"id":"1","obj1":"191.25","obj2":"11.81","obj3":"3.44","obj4":"15.62"}
{"id":"2","obj1":"642.00","obj2":"4.33","obj3":"0.00","obj4":"11.33"}
{"id":"3","obj1":"153.76","obj2":"94.77","obj3":"16.80","obj4":"29.79"}
{"id":"4","obj1":"61.71","obj2":"0.43","obj3":"0.00","obj4":"8.14"}
{"id":"5","obj1":"194.33","obj2":"108.89","obj3":"14.13","obj4":"168.60"}
{"id":"6","obj1":"204.31","obj2":"137.41","obj3":"34.76","obj4":"193.16"}
{"id":"7","obj1":"199.53","obj2":"34.53","obj3":"16.29","obj4":"26.56"}
{"id":"8","obj1":"77.33","obj2":"5.00","obj3":"12.50","obj4":"0.00"}
{"id":"9","obj1":"128.54","obj2":"101.60","obj3":"15.76","obj4":"46.23"}

{"id":"12","obj1":"206.05","obj2":"155.03","obj3":"36.96","obj4":"148.99"}
{"id":"13","obj1":"133.93","obj2":"142.79","obj3":"39.91","obj4":"98.30"}`;
let dataArray = dataString.match(/{(?:[^{}]*|(R))*}/g);
dataArray = dataArray.map(d=> JSON.parse(d));
console.log(dataArray);
Yeah, it is not a very good idea to concatenate objects into a string like that. If you don't have any other choice, however, something like that should do the trick:
const initialString = `{"id":"1","obj1":"191.25","obj2":"11.81","obj3":"3.44","obj4":"15.62"}
{"id":"2","obj1":"642.00","obj2":"4.33","obj3":"0.00","obj4":"11.33"}
{"id":"3","obj1":"153.76","obj2":"94.77","obj3":"16.80","obj4":"29.79"}
{"id":"4","obj1":"61.71","obj2":"0.43","obj3":"0.00","obj4":"8.14"}
{"id":"5","obj1":"194.33","obj2":"108.89","obj3":"14.13","obj4":"168.60"}
{"id":"6","obj1":"204.31","obj2":"137.41","obj3":"34.76","obj4":"193.16"}
{"id":"7","obj1":"199.53","obj2":"34.53","obj3":"16.29","obj4":"26.56"}
{"id":"8","obj1":"77.33","obj2":"5.00","obj3":"12.50","obj4":"0.00"}
{"id":"9","obj1":"128.54","obj2":"101.60","obj3":"15.76","obj4":"46.23"}
{"id":"10","obj1":"107.00","obj2":"116.67","obj3":"34.42","obj4":"8.75"}
{"id":"12","obj1":"206.05","obj2":"155.03","obj3":"36.96","obj4":"148.99"}
{"id":"13","obj1":"133.93","obj2":"142.79","obj3":"39.91","obj4":"98.30"}`;
const json = `[${initialString.replace(/}\s*{/g, '},{')}]`;
const array = JSON.parse(json);
I have a json arry
var students = {"apResults":[{"offid":"267","item_name":"","offer_name":"fsdfsf","stlongitude":"77.5945627","stlatitude":"12.9715987"},
{"offid":"265","item_name":"","offer_name":"vess offer shops","stlongitude":"","stlatitude":""},
{"offid":"264","item_name":"","offer_name":"vess ofer shop","stlongitude":"","stlatitude":""},
{"offid":"263","item_name":"","offer_name":"ofer frm vess","stlongitude":"77.5943760","stlatitude":"12.9716060"},
{"offid":"262","item_name":"","offer_name":"offer hungamma","stlongitude":"77.5943760","stlatitude":"12.9716060"},
{"offid":"261","item_name":"","offer_name":"offer hungamma","stlongitude":"77.5943760","stlatitude":"12.9716060"},
{"offid":"260","item_name":"","offer_name":"offer1","stlongitude":"77.5943760","stlatitude":"12.9716060"},
{"offid":"259","item_name":"","offer_name":"offer","stlongitude":"77.5943760","stlatitude":"12.9716060"}]}
How i can parse this json arry using json.parse. I have tried this code
for(i=0;i<students.apResults.length;i++)
{
var contact = JSON.parse(students.apResults);
var offid = contact.offid;
alert(offid)
}
But its giving an error JSON.parse: unexpected character.Edited my question
That's not a json string, that's a regular javascript variable:
for(i=0;i<students.Maths.length;i++)
{
var contact = students.Maths[i];
var fullname = contact.Name;
alert(fullname)
}
for(i=0;i<students.apResults.length;i++)
{
var contact = JSON.parse(students.apResults[i].offid);
alert(contact)
}
JSON parses strings, not objects/arrays.
why need parsing when you can access it like students.Maths[i].Name
students is not a JSON array, it's an actual array. You don't have to parse because it's not a string. So you can access directly to the data you need:
for(i=0;i<students.Maths.length;i++) {
var contact = students.Maths[i];
var fullname = contact.Name;
alert(fullname)
}
You can't parse students because is not a JSON. It's simple object.
However this will work:
var students = JSON.stringify(students); // if you want to send data
students = JSON.parse(students); // after receiving make a object from it
//use like any object
for(i=0;i<students.Maths.length;i++)
{
var contact = students.Maths[i];
var fullname = contact.Name;
alert(fullname)
}
Of course it doesn't make sense to write it that way unless you send students data to other site or program.
Edit:
You don't need JSON in this code at all. But if you want to test JSON.parse() do it this way:
var students = { ... } // your data
var students = JSON.stringify(students); // students is `object`, make it `string`
students = JSON.parse(students); // now you can parse it, `students` is object again
for(i=0;i<students.apResults.length;i++) {
var contact = students.apResults; // no JSON
var offid = contact.offid;
alert(offid)
}
That should work.
What you have is a javascript object. So, you won't need the JSON.parse
for(i=0;i<students.Maths.length;i++)
{
var contact = students.Maths[i]);
var fullname = contact.Name;
alert(fullname)
}
this should be ok
The idea of JSON is for the exchange of objects represented as a structured string (in a nutshell). What you've got there is simply an object. It's unnecessary (and impossible) to parse and object that isn't JSON into a javascript object; what you have is the outcome of what you would expect from a parsed JSON string.
