How do I create a JSON string from data stored in Google Firebase

Question

I need my Google Firebase Database Data converted to a JSON string.

The desired outcome should be as follows:

var dataSet =[
{arr:"test",des:"DMM",eta:"17 Feb 2018 11:00",etd:"17 Feb 2018 13:30",gate:"S92", inbound:"RT456", org:"ARN", outbound:"RT678", remarks:"CHARTER", sta:"17 Feb 2018 11:00", std:"17 Feb 2018 13:30", whs:"T11"},
{arr:"test",des:"ESB",eta:"17 Feb 2018 09:00",etd:"17 Feb 2018 15:30",gate:"S94", inbound:"SD941", org:"JNB", outbound:"SD942", remarks:"", sta:"17 Feb 2018 09:00", std:"17 Feb 2018 15:30", whs:"T11"}
             ];

I'm new to this and have therefore no clue how to accomplish this.

Answer 1

The JSON data is available at https://your-project.firebaseio.com/.json . You can obtain this by sending a GET request to this url. If you have classes in your data and would like to get the data for a particular class instead, use https://your-project.firebaseio.com/your-class.json

You can test this by using curl https://your-project.firebaseio.com/.json For better readability you can use curl https://your-project.firebaseio.com/.json?print=pretty

Refer: https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/rest/retrieve-data

Answer 2

First get the DataSet-schedule object and then iterate for each of the objects inside it :

dbRef.child("DataSet-schedule").once("value").then(
    function(snapshot){
        var dataSetObj = snapshot.val(), text= "";
        for(x in dataSetObj){
            text += JSON.stringify(dataSetObj[x]);
            text+= "--";  //separator
        }
    var result = text.split("--");
    result.pop();
    }

);

You can also export to JSON from your console. Open three dot icon and there will be export and import feature.
