Iterate and map JSON in array using javascript

I'am struck here that mapping a JSON in a array.

Here I have mentioned JSON array. 

[ { "_id":{ "$oid":"51d84a1e07121c7f442a6e76" }, "_type":[ "App_Model_Playlist_Content_Heading", "App_Model_Playlist_Content", "App_Model_Playlist" ], "text":"Intro Activities" }, { "_id":{ "$oid":"51e073fd07121c9e4c15a843" }, "_type":[ "App_Model_Playlist_Content_Resource", "App_Model_Playlist_Content", "App_Model_Playlist" ], "resource":{ "$ref":"resources", "$id":{ "$oid":"51e0732a07121cb24cbd36b4" } } }, { "_id":{ "$oid":"51d729ab07121c8b4014bd88" }, "_type":[ "App_Model_Playlist_Content_Resource", "App_Model_Playlist_Content", "App_Model_Playlist" ], "resource":{ "$ref":"resources", "$id":{ "$oid":"51d7286a07121c443fc4f126" } } }, { "_id":{ "$oid":"51d84abd07121c4844cb9ab3" }, "_type":[ "App_Model_Playlist_Content_Heading", "App_Model_Playlist_Content", "App_Model_Playlist" ], "text":"Book Discussion Groups" }, { "_id":{ "$oid":"51d84ade07121c0045ebe8c3" }, "_type":[ "App_Model_Playlist_Content_Narrative", "App_Model_Playlist_Content", "App_Model_Playlist" ], "text":"Book discussion groups take a bit of front loading of information and definitely take practice.

Javascript :

Trying to get expected result using javascript. I got some output here but, its doesn't match with expected result.

var aa = JSON;
var array = [];

for(var i=0; i < aa.length; i++){

   var t = {};                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
   t.header = '';
   t.narrative = '';
   t.resource_id = '';

    if(aa[i]._type[0]=='App_Model_Playlist_Content_Heading'){
       t.header = aa[i].text;
    }

    if(aa[i]._type[0]=='App_Model_Playlist_Content_Narrative'){
               t.narrative = aa[i].text;

    }

    if(aa[i]._type[0]=='App_Model_Playlist_Content_Resource'){
            if(typeof aa[i].resource != 'undefined' && aa[i].resource != null && aa[i].resource !=''){
                t.resource_id = aa[i].resource.$id.$oid;
}

}
array.push(t);
}

console.log(JSON.stringify(array));

Below I have mentioned expected JSON in array.

Expected Result:

   [
      {
      "header": "Intro Activities",
      "narrative": "",
      "resource": "51e0732a07121cb24cbd36b4,51d7286a07121c443fc4f126"
      },
      {
      "header": "Book Discussion Groups",
      "narrative": "Book discussion groups take a bit of front loading of information and definitely take practice. After each book group discussion it is necessary to come together as a class to discuss what worked well and what didn't work well.

If you would like students to reflect on each other's performance during group discussions.

      "resource": "51c36aa007121c524dc2a6d9"
      },    
      {
      "header": "Literary Analysis",
      "narrative": "The literary analysis is used as a formative assessment. Students use the notes from the reading and their discussion groups to analyze an aspect from the story.

      "resource": "51d7244507121cf33b5700e6,51d7238e07121cff3bf36405"
      }
]

Help me to get the expected result from the above coding. Thanks in advance.

You should iterate over JSON array, and create a new entry either if you faces an App_Model_Playlist_Content_Heading or the currentObj is null, thus, it has no heading, like this

    var array = [],
    currentObj,
    pushNew = function(header, narrative, resourceId) {
        var newObj = {
           header: header || '',
           narrative: narrative || '',
           resource_id: resourceId? [resourceId] : []
        };

        array.push(newObj);

        return newObj;
    }
;

for(var i=0; i < aa.length; i++){
    // Starting of a new entry
    if(aa[i]._type[0]=='App_Model_Playlist_Content_Heading'){
       currentObj = pushNew(aa[i].text);
    }

   if(aa[i]._type[0]=='App_Model_Playlist_Content_Narrative'){

       if(!currentObj) {
          currentObj = pushNew(null, aa[i].text);
       } else {
          currentObj.narrative = aa[i].text;
       }
    }

   if(aa[i]._type[0]=='App_Model_Playlist_Content_Resource'){
      if(typeof aa[i].resource !== 'undefined' && aa[i].resource != null && aa[i].resource !==''){

              if(!currentObj) {
                 currentObj = pushNew(null, null, aa[i].resource.$id.$oid);
              } else {
                 currentObj.resource_id.push(aa[i].resource.$id.$oid);
              }
          }

   }
}

console.log(JSON.stringify(array));
