用javascript创建二维对象或数组

Question

I'm trying to build a language menu based on <link rel="alternate"> tags in the head of a website.

I have to objects, one for continents and one for languages, based on these two objects I try to generate an unordered list like this:

<ul>
    <li>Continent
        <ul>
            <li>Countryname - Language</li>
            ...
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Continent
        <ul>...</ul>
    </li>
</ul>

I've created the following functions, the problems is, it seems that the created object is overwritten. I have always only one country per continent. Could someone please give me a hint how to fix that?

I need an Array or Object that i can use to build the unordered list. Something like that:

• Continent 1
  • Country 1
    • name
    • lang
  • Country 2
    • name
    • lang
  • ...
• Continent 2
  • Country 1
    • name
    • lang
  • Country 2
    • name
    • lang
• ...

Here is my Code:

 var continents = { "AF": { "name": "Africa", "countries": { "DZ": "Algeria", "AO": "Angola", "BJ": "Benin", "BW": "Botswana", "BF": "Burkina Faso", "ZW": "Zimbabwe" } }, "AS": { "name": "Asia", "countries": { "AF": "Afghanistan", "AM": "Armenia", "HK": "Hong Kong SAR China", "IN": "India", "ID": "Indonesia", "JP": "Japan", "KZ": "Kazakhstan", "TM": "Turkmenistan", "AE": "United Arab Emirates", "UZ": "Uzbekistan", "VN": "Vietnam", "YE": "Yemen" } }, "EU": { "name": "Europe", "countries": { "AL": "Albania", "AD": "Andorra", "AT": "Austria", "BY": "Belarus", "BE": "Belgium", "BA": "Bosnia and Herzegovina", "BG": "Bulgaria", "HR": "Croatia", "CY": "Cyprus", "CZ": "Czech Republic", "DK": "Denmark", "DD": "East Germany", "EE": "Estonia", "FO": "Faroe Islands", "FI": "Finland", "FR": "France", "DE": "Germany", "GI": "Gibraltar", "GR": "Greece", "GG": "Guernsey", "HU": "Hungary", "IS": "Iceland", "IE": "Ireland", "IM": "Isle of Man", "IT": "Italy", "JE": "Jersey", "LV": "Latvia", "LI": "Liechtenstein", "LT": "Lithuania", "LU": "Luxembourg", "MK": "Macedonia", "MT": "Malta", "FX": "Metropolitan France", "MD": "Moldova", "MC": "Monaco", "ME": "Montenegro", "NL": "Netherlands", "NO": "Norway", "PL": "Poland", "PT": "Portugal", "RO": "Romania", "RU": "Russia", "SM": "San Marino", "RS": "Serbia", "CS": "Serbia and Montenegro", "SK": "Slovakia", "SI": "Slovenia", "ES": "Spain", "SJ": "Svalbard and Jan Mayen", "SE": "Sweden", "CH": "Switzerland", "UA": "Ukraine", "SU": "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics", "GB": "United Kingdom", "VA": "Vatican City", "AX": "Åland Islands" } }, "AU": { "name": "Australia", "countries": { "AS": "American Samoa", "AQ": "Antarctica", "AU": "Australia", "BV": "Bouvet Island", "UM": "US Minor Outlying Islands", "VU": "Vanuatu", "WF": "Wallis and Futuna" } }, "AM": { "name": "America", "countries": { "AI": "Anguilla", "AG": "Antigua and Barbuda", "AR": "Argentina", "AW": "Aruba", "BS": "Bahamas", "BB": "Barbados", "BZ": "Belize", "BM": "Bermuda", "VI": "US Virgin Islands", "US": "United States", "UY": "Uruguay", "VE": "Venezuela" } }, "ME": { "name": "Middle East", "countries": { "IR": "Iran", "IQ": "Iraq", "IL": "Israel", "JO": "Jordan", "KW": "Kuwait", "OM": "Oman", "QA": "Qatar", "SA": "Saudi Arabia", "SY": "Syria", "TR": "Turkey" } } } languages = { "ab":{ "name":"Abkhaz", "nativeName":"аҧсуа" }, "aa":{ "name":"Afar", "nativeName":"Afaraf" }, "af":{ "name":"Afrikaans", "nativeName":"Afrikaans" }, "ak":{ "name":"Akan", "nativeName":"Akan" }, "sq":{ "name":"Albanian", "nativeName":"Shqip" }, "am":{ "name":"Amharic", "nativeName":"አማርኛ" }, "ar":{ "name":"Arabic", "nativeName":"العربية" }, "an":{ "name":"Aragonese", "nativeName":"Aragonés" }, "hy":{ "name":"Armenian", "nativeName":"Հայերեն" }, "as":{ "name":"Assamese", "nativeName":"অসমীয়া" }, "av":{ "name":"Avaric", "nativeName":"авар мацӀ, магӀарул мацӀ" }, "ae":{ "name":"Avestan", "nativeName":"avesta" }, "ay":{ "name":"Aymara", "nativeName":"aymar aru" }, "az":{ "name":"Azerbaijani", "nativeName":"azərbaycan dili" }, "bm":{ "name":"Bambara", "nativeName":"bamanankan" }, "ba":{ "name":"Bashkir", "nativeName":"башҡорт теле" }, "eu":{ "name":"Basque", "nativeName":"euskara, euskera" }, "be":{ "name":"Belarusian", "nativeName":"Беларуская" }, "bn":{ "name":"Bengali", "nativeName":"বাংলা" }, "bh":{ "name":"Bihari", "nativeName":"भोजपुरी" }, "bi":{ "name":"Bislama", "nativeName":"Bislama" }, "bs":{ "name":"Bosnian", "nativeName":"bosanski jezik" }, "br":{ "name":"Breton", "nativeName":"brezhoneg" }, "bg":{ "name":"Bulgarian", "nativeName":"български език" }, "my":{ "name":"Burmese", "nativeName":"ဗမာစာ" }, "ca":{ "name":"Catalan;

Answer 1

I think i finally understand what you want. You can change only this part of your code:

if (lang[continent][country] == undefined) {
    lang[continent][country] = {};
}

lang[continent][country] = {country: country, language: language};

To this (define countries as Array ):

if (lang[continent].countries == undefined) {
    lang[continent].countries = [];
}

lang[continent].countries.push({country: country, language: language});

See this JSFiddle.

Answer 2

how about this?

  var continents = { "AF": { "name": "Africa", "countries": { "DZ": "Algeria", "AO": "Angola", "BJ": "Benin", "BW": "Botswana", "BF": "Burkina Faso", "ZW": "Zimbabwe" } }, "AS": { "name": "Asia", "countries": { "AF": "Afghanistan", "AM": "Armenia", "HK": "Hong Kong SAR China", "IN": "India", "ID": "Indonesia", "JP": "Japan", "KZ": "Kazakhstan", "TM": "Turkmenistan", "AE": "United Arab Emirates", "UZ": "Uzbekistan", "VN": "Vietnam", "YE": "Yemen" } }, "EU": { "name": "Europe", "countries": { "AL": "Albania", "AD": "Andorra", "AT": "Austria", "BY": "Belarus", "BE": "Belgium", "BA": "Bosnia and Herzegovina", "BG": "Bulgaria", "HR": "Croatia", "CY": "Cyprus", "CZ": "Czech Republic", "DK": "Denmark", "DD": "East Germany", "EE": "Estonia", "FO": "Faroe Islands", "FI": "Finland", "FR": "France", "DE": "Germany", "GI": "Gibraltar", "GR": "Greece", "GG": "Guernsey", "HU": "Hungary", "IS": "Iceland", "IE": "Ireland", "IM": "Isle of Man", "IT": "Italy", "JE": "Jersey", "LV": "Latvia", "LI": "Liechtenstein", "LT": "Lithuania", "LU": "Luxembourg", "MK": "Macedonia", "MT": "Malta", "FX": "Metropolitan France", "MD": "Moldova", "MC": "Monaco", "ME": "Montenegro", "NL": "Netherlands", "NO": "Norway", "PL": "Poland", "PT": "Portugal", "RO": "Romania", "RU": "Russia", "SM": "San Marino", "RS": "Serbia", "CS": "Serbia and Montenegro", "SK": "Slovakia", "SI": "Slovenia", "ES": "Spain", "SJ": "Svalbard and Jan Mayen", "SE": "Sweden", "CH": "Switzerland", "UA": "Ukraine", "SU": "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics", "GB": "United Kingdom", "VA": "Vatican City", "AX": "Åland Islands" } }, "AU": { "name": "Australia", "countries": { "AS": "American Samoa", "AQ": "Antarctica", "AU": "Australia", "BV": "Bouvet Island", "UM": "US Minor Outlying Islands", "VU": "Vanuatu", "WF": "Wallis and Futuna" } }, "AM": { "name": "America", "countries": { "AI": "Anguilla", "AG": "Antigua and Barbuda", "AR": "Argentina", "AW": "Aruba", "BS": "Bahamas", "BB": "Barbados", "BZ": "Belize", "BM": "Bermuda", "VI": "US Virgin Islands", "US": "United States", "UY": "Uruguay", "VE": "Venezuela" } }, "ME": { "name": "Middle East", "countries": { "IR": "Iran", "IQ": "Iraq", "IL": "Israel", "JO": "Jordan", "KW": "Kuwait", "OM": "Oman", "QA": "Qatar", "SA": "Saudi Arabia", "SY": "Syria", "TR": "Turkey" } } } var languages = { "ab": { "name": "Abkhaz", "nativeName": "аҧсуа" }, "aa": { "name": "Afar", "nativeName": "Afaraf" }, "af": { "name": "Afrikaans", "nativeName": "Afrikaans" }, "ak": { "name": "Akan", "nativeName": "Akan" }, "sq": { "name": "Albanian", "nativeName": "Shqip" }, "am": { "name": "Amharic", "nativeName": "አማርኛ" }, "ar": { "name": "Arabic", "nativeName": "العربية" }, "an": { "name": "Aragonese", "nativeName": "Aragonés" }, "hy": { "name": "Armenian", "nativeName": "Հայերեն" }, "as": { "name": "Assamese", "nativeName": "অসমীয়া" }, "av": { "name": "Avaric", "nativeName": "авар мацӀ, магӀарул мацӀ" }, "ae": { "name": "Avestan", "nativeName": "avesta" }, "ay": { "name": "Aymara", "nativeName": "aymar aru" }, "az": { "name": "Azerbaijani", "nativeName": "azərbaycan dili" }, "bm": { "name": "Bambara", "nativeName": "bamanankan" }, "ba": { "name": "Bashkir", "nativeName": "башҡорт теле" }, "eu": { "name": "Basque", "nativeName": "euskara, euskera" }, "be": { "name": "Belarusian", "nativeName": "Беларуская" }, "bn": { "name": "Bengali", "nativeName": "বাংলা" }, "bh": { "name": "Bihari", "nativeName": "भोजपुरी" }, "bi": { "name": "Bislama", "nativeName": "Bislama" }, "bs": { "name": "Bosnian", "nativeName": "bosanski jezik" }, "br": { "name": "Breton", "nativeName": "brezhoneg" }, "bg": { "name": "Bulgarian", "nativeName": "български език" }, "my": { "name": "Burmese", "nativeName": "ဗမာစာ" }, "ca": { "name": "Catalan;
