JSON object with multiple arrays

Question

At the moment I have multiple arrays inside an object containing different pieces of data.

The issue is that the JSON is invalid and I am not sure who to correct it.

Here is my current code:

{
    "cars": {
        [{
            "model": 'test'
        }],
        [{
            "model": 'test2'
        }]
    }
};

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Use key:value pairs and remove that semicolon.

{
    "cars": [
        {
            "model": "test"
        },
        {
            "model": "test2"
        }
    ]
}

Then once you parse your JSON and assign it to a variable, e.g. jsonVar, you can loop over the array jsonVar.cars to get each dictionary, which has model property.
