How to read from JSON in protractor test?

I would like to read groups_id_ss for specific id.
How to do that in this json?

I successfully read response.docs , but then can't reach id and groups_id_ss.

{
 "responseHeader":{
      "status":0,
      "QTime":0,
      "params":{
         "q":"object_type_s:USER",
         "indent":"true",
         "wt":"json"
      }
   },
   "response":{
      "numFound":13,
      "start":0,
      "docs":[
         {
            "id":"sanja",
            "groups_id_ss":[
               "COORDINATION AO",
               "ACM_INVESTIGATOR_DEV"
            ]
         },
         {
            "id":"sanjaseconduser",
            "groups_id_ss":[
               "ACM_SUPERVISOR_DEV",
               "CHAIRMAN",
               "ACM_ADMINISTRATOR_DEV",
               "CPC INITIATOR",
               "COORDINATION AO",
               "ACM_INVESTIGATOR_DEV"
            ]
         }
      ]
   }
}

Since you are using the values in separate file, you can use like this. I am assuming the file is stored as .json For example, your json values are in response.json

You can write code like this in your spec file:

var responseData =  require('../../response.json');

describe('some function description', function(){
   var groupID = responseData.response.docs[0].groupid_ss[0];
   var groupID = responseData.response.docs[0].groupid_ss[0]

});

Since that is json array, we have to give the index of the array in that. Hope this would work for you.

As stated you could read response.docs from json. Let's say

var docs = response.docs;

As docs is an array you can use forEach to loop thruogh each element

docs.forEach(function(doc) {
if(doc.id === "desired_Id") {
    var groupIdSS = doc.groups_id_ss;
}
});

This way you can read groups_id_ss for desired id. Hope it helps.
