I thought this was going to be easy, but it’s turning into quite a headache. I have a multidimensional JSON object being returned from my webserver. I’m parsing it to build a fairly deep navigation pane. I need to be able to search this object, but I’m coming up blank for the means.<\/p>\n
The object is structured as so: tree->rows[]=>tree->rows[]=>tree \u2026<\/p>\n
Each tree can have many rows, and each row can have a tree etc.<\/p>\n
At the row level there are a few variables, I need to search and find the value of one. EX: My difficulty is, I don’t know how to traverse the whole object. Even if I do it recursively I don’t know how I could keep going up and down all the rows.<\/p>\n Here’s an example of the object:<\/p>\n This example piece doesn’t have any child trees of the row, the object that does is tens of thousands characters long, I can post if necessary.<\/p>\n The best code I can think of would be close to this (not tested, conceptually I’m missing something):<\/p>\n Originally posted 2013-11-10 00:16:34. <\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I thought this was going to be easy, but it’s turning into quite a headache.
