I've got an odd issue here. I'm accessing someone else's JSON structure so I am not able to change it. The JSON structure keys are named with both characters and numbers like this:
0 | 198456 |
product_id | 198456 |
1 | Rashaan Houston feat Tony Loreto |
artist | Rashaan Houston feat Tony Loreto |
So, in other words, there's a key named "0" and a key named "product_id", both of which contain the same key. Why they did that, I don't know, but they did.
In one of the instances, the data stored under the text-named key isn't the same as the numerical-named key. I tried to output the data in the numerical key like this (it's an array of structures):
#strStompyJSON.data[1].0#
but I get the following error:
--
Invalid CFML construct found on line 41 at column 31.
ColdFusion was looking at the following text:
.0
--
When I do the following, it works fine:
#strStompyJSON.data[1].product_id#
So it looks as though CF doesn't like accessing a variable that starts with a number. I am able to loop through the structure using a collection loop, and it outputs all of the keys (including the numerical ones) and their values using the following code:
<cfloop collection="#strStompyJSON.data[1]#" item="key">
#key#: #strStompyJSON.data[1][key]#<br />
</cfloop>
However, that doesn't allow me a way to access specific keys named with a number. Is there a way that I can specifically access a key that is named with a number?
thanks!
