Get object from JSON with jQuery

I'm trying to query a JSON file in my own server using $.getJSON and then cycling inside the objects. No problem so far, then i have an ID which is the name of the object i want to return, but can't seem to get it right: 

  var id = 301;
  var url = "path/to/file.json";
  $.getJSON( url, function( json ) {
    var items = [];
    items = json;
    for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
      var item = items[i];
      console.log(item);
    }
  });

This prints the following in the console:

console.log of all the objects in json

Now let's say i want return only the object == to id so then i can refer to it like item.banos, item.dorms etc.

My first approach was something like 

console.log(json.Object.key('301'));

Which didn't work

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Solution

  • It seems like your response is wrapped in an array with one element.

    You can access object properties dynamically via square brackets:

    var id = 301;
var url = "path/to/file.json";
$.getJSON(url, function(json) {
    console.log(json[0][id].banos);
});
