How to Parse Object

Supriya25 · ‎03-12-2025

Hi All,

Kindly help me how to identify "info" either it is starting with " { " or "[ { "

example 1:
{
data: {

info: {
"name": "servicenow"
}

}

example 2:
{
data: {

info: [
{
"name":"Servicenow"
},{
"name":"SNOW"
}

]

}

Hi @Supriya25

You can use:

var obj1 = {
    data: {
        info: {
            "name": "servicenow"
        }
    }
};

//Multiple Info objects
var obj2 = {
    data: {
        info: [{
            "name": "Servicenow"
        }, {
            "name": "SNOW"
        }]
    }
}

//Check if given input is an array
Array.isArray(YOUR_ARRAY);

//Function to check if a given input is JSON
function isJsonObject(value) {
    return typeof value === "object" && value !== null && !Array.isArray(value);
}

gs.info(Array.isArray(obj1.data.info)); //false
gs.info(Array.isArray(obj2.data.info)); //true
gs.info(isJsonObject(obj1.data.info)); //true
gs.info(isJsonObject(obj2.data.info)); //false

Thank you Medi..!

so total two methods

gs.info(obj1.data.hasOwnProperty("info2"))

gs.info(!!obj1.data.info2);
