[javascript] How can I get the key value in a JSON object?

How do I get the key value in a JSON object and the length of the object using JavaScript?

For example:

[
  {
    "amount": " 12185",
    "job": "GAPA",
    "month": "JANUARY",
    "year": "2010"
  },
  {
    "amount": "147421",
    "job": "GAPA",
    "month": "MAY",
    "year": "2010"
  },
  {
    "amount": "2347",
    "job": "GAPA",
    "month": "AUGUST",
    "year": "2010"
  }
]

Here, length of this array is 3. For getting, value is fine ([0].amount), in index[0] it has three name value pairs.

So, I need to get the name (like amount or job... totally four name) and also how do I count how many names there are?

You may need:

Object.keys(JSON[0]);

To get something like:

[ 'amount', 'job', 'month', 'year' ]

Note: Your JSON is invalid.

When you parse the JSON representation, it'll become a JavaScript array of objects.

Because of this, you can use the .length property of the JavaScript array to see how many elements are contained, and use a for loop to enumerate it.

Try out this

var str ="{ "name" : "user"}";
var jsonData = JSON.parse(str);     
console.log(jsonData.name)

//Array Object

str ="[{ "name" : "user"},{ "name" : "user2"}]";
jsonData = JSON.parse(str);     
console.log(jsonData[0].name)

JSON content is basically represented as an associative array in JavaScript. You just need to loop over them to either read the key or the value:

    var JSON_Obj = { "one":1, "two":2, "three":3, "four":4, "five":5 };

    // Read key
    for (var key in JSON_Obj) {
       console.log(key);
       console.log(JSON_Obj[key]);
   }

You can simply traverse through the object and return if a match is found.

Here is the code:

returnKeyforValue : function() {
    var JsonObj= { "one":1, "two":2, "three":3, "four":4, "five":5 };
        for (key in JsonObj) {
        if(JsonObj[key] === "Keyvalue") {
            return key;
        }
    }
}
