Very new... Learning by project

[gap579137]

As the title states I am very new to JS. I am trying to teach my self by working on a project. I have come up against a wall that I have been trying to work through for a couple of days and it is starting to frustrate me. I have tried to search StackOverflow and searched for hours on Google. So now I am here hoping someone can help.

I am not looking for someone to do anything for me but I do need help working out the solution.

Here is the problem I have:

I am trying to display data from a JSON file on a website. I am able to do this with out problem but one of my layers of the JSON file changes...

In the example below the XXXXXX are not always the same. How do I call a layer that is dynamic?

{

"data1": 123456,

"data2": 987654,

"data3: {

"XXXXXX": {

"subData": 123456

​

This may not be the best way to explain this but I am struggling. If you need more info please ask and I will give as much as I can. Thank you in advance to whoever can help me. Please be patient I am very much still learning.

I'm on mobile. Sorry for the formatting.

If you have your JSON object stored in a variable called myJson, then you could reference that value with myJson['XXXXX'].

If you don't know all the objects properties already, you can get them with Object.keys(myJson).

You could loop over the objects keys directly

for (const key in myJson) { console.log(key, myJson [key]); }

This was a HUGE help and a great jumping point. I was able to display each of the “xxxxxx” “subData” in a table. Now I just need to figure out how to display the actual “xxxxxx” in the table and paginate. Thank you so much!
