{"employees":[  
    {"name":"Shyam", "email":"shyamjaiswal@gmail.com", "job":"police"},

Answer 1

With Javascript you could do something like that:

 const data = {"employees": [ {"name":"Shyam", "email":"shyamjaiswal@gmail.com", "job":"police"}, {"name":"Bob", "email":"bob32@gmail.com", "job":"athelic"}, {"name":"Jai", "email":"jai87@gmail.com", "job":"king"} ]}; const result = data.employees.filter(employe => employe.name === "Shyam"); console.log(result);

And with PHP you can do that:

$data = json_decode('{"employees": [  
  {"name":"Shyam", "email":"shyamjaiswal@gmail.com", "job":"police"},  
  {"name":"Bob", "email":"bob32@gmail.com", "job":"athelic"},  
  {"name":"Jai", "email":"jai87@gmail.com", "job":"king"}  
]}', true);

$result = array_filter($data['employees'], function ($employee) {
    return $employee['name'] === 'Shyam';
});
var_dump($result);

Answer 2

In PHP you can do something like this.

$json = '{"employees":[  
    {"name":"Shyam", "email":"shyamjaiswal@gmail.com", "job":"police"},  
    {"name":"Bob", "email":"bob32@gmail.com", "job":"athelic"},  
    {"name":"Jai", "email":"jai87@gmail.com", "job":"king"}  
]} ';

$jsonArray = json_decode($json, true);
$emails = [];

foreach ($jsonArray['employees'] as $item){
    if ($item['name'] == "Shyam") {
        $emails[] = $item['email'];
    }
}

Somethink like this (JS)?

      const getEmail = (json, name) => {
        const row = json.employees.find(e => e.name === name);
        return row ? row.email : null;
      }
