Print a JSON data with Javascript

Question

I have the following JSON.

{
    "lang": [
        {
            "SECTION_NAME": {
                "english": "My title"
            },
            "SECTION_NAME_2": {
                "english": "My title"
            }
        }
    ]
}

And I'm looking to print the value like this:

$.getJSON('json/lang.json', function(data) {
    var text = data['lang']['SECTION_NAME'];
    $('#title').html(text.english);
});

But I have the following error:

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'text.english')

Any help please.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You have to access it via index as lang is an array of object

like this

console.log(data['lang'][0]['SECTION_NAME'])

JSFIDDLE

Answer 2

The value of lang is an array which contains an object.

You are ignoring the array and trying to access the objects as if it was the value of lang directly.
