Retrieving JSON object value from Javascript

Question

I am new to Javascript and JSON. I want to get the following JSON values via Javascript. I need to retrieve the "login" value and add up the "a", "d" and "c" respectively. I managed to get "login" value but I couldn't figure out how do i retrieve "a", "d" and "c" values.

 var data = JSON.parse(text);
 $.each(data, function(i, v) {
     var login = v.login;    // Get "login"
     var commits = 0;
     var additions = 0;
     var deletions = 0;
     var contributions = 0;

     $.each(data, function(j, w) {
         commits += w.c;      // Get "c"
         additions += w.a;    // Get "a"
         deletions += w.d;    // Get "d"
     });
 });

JSON:

[
  {
    "total": 2,
    "weeks": [
      {
        "w": 1214092800,
        "a": 0,
        "d": 0,
        "c": 0
      },
      {
        "w": 1474761600,
        "a": 0,
        "d": 0,
        "c": 0
      },
      {
        "w": 1476576000,
        "a": 0,
        "d": 0,
        "c": 0
      }
    ],
    "author": {
      "login": "ramiro"
    }
  }
]

Try this it will work :

JSON :

var data = [
  {
    "total": 2,
    "weeks": [
      {
        "w": 1214092800,
        "a": 0,
        "d": 0,
        "c": 0
      },
      {
        "w": 1474761600,
        "a": 0,
        "d": 0,
        "c": 0
      },
      {
        "w": 1476576000,
        "a": 0,
        "d": 0,
        "c": 0
      }
    ],
    "author": {
      "login": "ramiro"
    }
  }
];

1. Using for in loop

var weekData = data[0].weeks; 
for (var i in weekData) {
 console.log(data[0].weeks[i].a,data[0].weeks[i].d,data[0].weeks[i].c);
}

2. using Array map method

var weekData = data[0].weeks; 

var returnData = weekData.map(function(e) {
return {
          a: e.a,
          d: e.d,
          c: e.c
        }
})

console.log(returnData);

Using array filter is not a solution...you try seeing what weekData has...The result of weekData and returnData is same

Yup this is fine...I think this is the best approach as of now

You could use array method map and reduce. jQuery is not quite necessary.

var retrieved = data.map(function(v) {
  var ret = v.weeks.reduce(function(a, b) {
    return {
      a: a.a + b.a,
      d: a.d + b.d,
      c: a.c + b.c
    }
  })
  ret.login = v.author.login
  return ret
})
