"employees":[
{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"},
{"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
{"firstName":"Peter","lastName":"Jones"}
]
I know that this is a json array.
I want to do something like this:
"employees":[
"manager":{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"},
"boss1":{"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
"boss2":{"firstName":"Peter","lastName":"Jones"}
]
Is this json format? Is this a json array?
No, this is not JSON array, you can check it on this link https://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ just past your code on the left side, and surround it with {} , and you will see where the problem is. Also you can test JSON there in the future.
My suggestion is to use something like this.
"employees":[
{"position":"manager", "firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"},
{"position":"boss1", "firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
{"position":"boss2", "firstName":"Peter","lastName":"Jones"}
]
This would be valid JSON array.
If you add some { and } you can make it valid jsons, like this:
{"employees":[
{"manager":{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}},
{"boss1":{"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"}},
{"boss2":{"firstName":"Peter","lastName":"Jones"}}
]}
I tested it on https://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ and this is valid. Without the need to add the extra "position".
