My javascript function is like this:

  function GetBalanceQty(val) {
            //in val u get dropdown list selected value
            var id = val;
            alert("value=" + id);


            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
            var url = "https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json?app_id=324d066072324a7fba34618f5c5dfd83";

            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
                if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
                    myFunction(xmlhttp.responseText);
                }
            }
            xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
            xmlhttp.send();

            function myFunction(response) {
                var arr = JSON.parse(response);


 // Logic to display value of currency (contained in val argument) in jason array.


            }

My javascript function GetBalanceQty(val) recieves 3 letter currency name in val argument now I want to display its corresponding value.

Answer 1

function myFunction(response) {
    var currencyData = JSON.parse(response);

    if (!currencyData.rates) {
        // possibly handle error condition with unrecognized JSON response
        alert("currency data not found!");
    }

    // id variable is available from outer function
    if (id in currencyData.rates) {
        alert(currencyData.rates[id]);
    } else {
        alert("unknown currency code!");
    }
}
