In this discussion of JSON, I would like to show how JSON can be created dynamically in standard JavaScript. This technique could be used in SNow, having a slight modification to create JSON objects.
Below is a sample code in HTML and JavaScript to create, retrieve and delete JSON objects.
/** var json = [ {"1" : "Sudipta"}, {"2" : "Goswami"}, {"3" : "FirstName"}, {"4" : "LastName"} ]; **/ //Global variable to hold the JSON object var g_objJSON; /** setJSON - Create JSON object * Returns - Nothing **/ function setJSON() { var v_aJSON = []; var v_hObject = {}; var v_hTempHash = {}; var v_sKey = document.getElementById("txtName").value; var v_sValue = document.getElementById("txtPhone").value; try { v_hObject[v_sKey] = v_sValue; document.getElementById("txtName").value = ""; document.getElementById("txtPhone").value = ""; if (g_objJSON == undefined) { v_aJSON.push(v_hObject); } else { v_hTempHash = mergeHashOb(g_objJSON[0], v_hObject); v_aJSON.push(v_hTempHash); } g_objJSON = v_aJSON; alert("JSON created!"); } catch (x) { alert(x.message); } } /** getJSON - Retrieve all JSON objects against its KEY value * Returns - Nothing **/ function getJSON() { for (var item in g_objJSON[0]) { alert("Name: " + item + "\nPhone: " + g_objJSON[0][item]); } } /** deleteJSON - Delete a JSON object against a KEY value * Returns - Nothing **/ function deleteJSON() { var v_aJSON = []; var v_hNewHashObj = {}; var v_sName2Del = document.getElementById("txtNameDelete").value; if (v_sName2Del == "") { alert("Please enter a name to delete from JSON object"); } else { for (var item in g_objJSON[0]) { if (item == v_sName2Del) { document.getElementById("txtNameDelete").value = ""; alert("Name removed"); } else { v_hNewHashObj[item] = g_objJSON[0][item]; } } v_aJSON.push(v_hNewHashObj); g_objJSON = v_aJSON; } } /** mergeHashOb - Merge a new JSON object with the global JSON object * @prm_hObj - Existing Hash object * @prm_hObj2 - New Hash object * Returns - A new Hash object contains the merged Hash objects **/ function mergeHashOb(prm_hObj, prm_hObj2) { var v_hObj = {}; for (var item in prm_hObj) { v_hObj[item] = prm_hObj[item]; } for (var item in prm_hObj2) { v_hObj[item] = prm_hObj2[item]; } return v_hObj; }
I have also attached the .html file, which contains the whole html code.
Hope this would help!
