How would you reference the models (Accord, CRV, Prius, etc) in this structure? Is this a bad structure to be able to extract the makes...then use a make to get the models...then use the model to get the options?
var cars = [
{
"makes" : "Honda",
"models" : [
{'Accord' : ["2dr","4dr"]} ,
{'CRV' : ["2dr","Hatchback"]} ,
{'Pilot' : ["base","superDuper"] }
]
},
{
"makes" : "Toyota",
"models" : [
{'Prius' : ["green","reallyGreen"]} ,
{'Camry' : ["sporty","square"]} ,
{'Corolla' : ["cheap","superFly"] }
]
}
];
Thanks
The structure:
var cars = [
{ name: 'Honda', models: [
{ name: 'Accord', features: ['2dr', '4dr'] },
{ name: 'CRV', features: ['2dr', 'Hatchback'] },
{ name: 'Pilot', features: ['base', 'superDuper'] }
]},
{ name: 'Toyota', models: [
{ name: 'Prius', features: ['green', 'superGreen'] },
{ name: 'Camry', features: ['sporty', 'square'] },
{ name: 'Corolla', features: ['cheap', 'superFly'] }
]}
];
I wrote about the traversal and everything else here .
cars[0].models.Accord cars[0].models.CRV cars[0].models.Pilot
(See olliej 's answer)
Though, it may be easier to use the following access concept:
cars.Honda.Accord
cars.Toyota.Prius
...using...
var cars = {
Honda : {
Accord : ["2dr", "4dr"],
CRV : ["2dr", "Hatchback"],
Pilot : ["base", "superDuper"]
},
Toyota : {
Prius : ["green", "reallyGreen"],
Camry : ["sporty", "square"],
Corolla : ["cheap", "superFly"]
}
};
Jonathan's is correct, but he missed the additional level of Array's at the model level, so it should be
cars[0].models[0].Accord
cars[0].models[1].CRV
etc
I suspect you would find it easier to use a structure along the lines of:
var cars = [
{makes : "Honda",
models : {
Accord : ["2dr","4dr"],
CRV : ["2dr","Hatchback"],
Pilot: ["base","superDuper"]
}
},
{makes :"Toyota",
models : {
Prius : ["green","reallyGreen"],
Camry : ["sporty","square"],
Corolla : ["cheap","superFly"]
}
}];
In which the models
array is replaced by an object (or associative array if you like)
[edit (olliej): tidying up code in second example]
You can traverse models with this code:
for (var i = 0, carslen = cars.length; i < carslen; i++) { for (var j = 0, modelslen = cars[i].models.length; j < modelslen; j++) { // do something with cars[i].models[j] } }
but I agree with Olliej about changing the structure of your JSON to his format.
If I were you, I wouldn't lump all your data into one big multidimensional array/object literal mess like that. I'd encapsulate each object and use methods to access the data. It'll mess with your brain a lot less.
