How to access element in JSON and Javascript

How do I access something like this with Javascript and Jquery?

"condition" : [{"conditionId":["3000"],"conditionDisplayName":["Used"]}]

(this is just an excerpt)

I tried using item.condition and I got:
[{"conditionId":["3000"],"conditionDisplayName":["Used"]}] as a result.

How do I get the conditionDisplayName?

I've also tried using : item.condition.conditionDisplayName but it doesn't work nor does item.condition[1]

condition is an array, as is conditionDisplayName, so you will need to access their members using an index. For example, to get the first displayName of the first condition you would do:

var displayName = item.condition[0].conditionDisplayName[0]

var array = [{"conditionId":["3000"],"conditionDisplayName":["Used"]}]

// Not right - show ["Used"]
console.log(array[0].conditionDisplayName);

// Right - show "Used"
console.log(array[0].conditionDisplayName[0]);

You can see this here: http://jsfiddle.net/bs9kx/

In your case you should try:

item.condition[0].conditionDisplayName

You're almost there but your condition is an array with one object so you need to use the array notation to access it:

var displayName = item.condition[0].conditionDisplayName;

If there could be more than one object in the array, you can use a loop:

for(var i=0; i<item.condition.length; i++) {
    console.log( item.condition[i].conditionDisplayName );
}

You can use array index to get the object

var displayName = obj.condition[0].conditionDisplayName;
