Question

I have a json response from php to ajax. The thing is depending on the value entered in a text box the number of json arrays vary. Example: sometimes it may return {"count1":10, "ccc1":30} and sometimes like this {"count1":10, "ccc1":32, "count2":40, "ccc2":123,"count3":32,"ccc3":21}. I extract the value in jquery this way:

success: function(response){
    var count = response.count1;
    //do something
}

But now since the number of counts are different I used a loop. Question is I can figure out how many of them I am receiving but how can I process them? The var count = response.count needs to be specific right? I cannot just concate any strings like this:

var count = 0;    
while(something){
    count = count + 1;
    var str = "count"+count;
    var whatever = response.str;
}

So, can someone please help me with a suitable solution in this case?

Answer 1

You are on the right track there. Something like this should work for you.

var i = 1;
while(response['count' + i]) {
    var count = response['count' + i++];
}

You can access the properties as if they were array indices. so response['count'+i] works.
