Convert JSON to Another JSON Format with Recursion in JavaScript
Suppose, we have the following JSON object −
const obj = { "context": { "device": { "localeCountryCode": "AX", "datetime": "3047-09-29T07:09:52.498Z" }, "currentLocation": { "country": "KM", "lon": -78789486, } } };
We are required to write a JavaScript recursive function that initially takes in one such array.The function should split the above object into a "label" - "children" format.
Therefore, the output for the above object should look like −
const output = { "label": "context", "children": [ { "label": "device", "children": [ { "label": "localeCountryCode" }, { "label": "datetime" } ] }, { "label": "currentLocation", "children": [ { "label": "country" }, { "label": "lon" } ] } ] }
The code for this will be −
Example
const obj = { "context": { "device": { "localeCountryCode": "AX", "datetime": "3047-09-29T07:09:52.498Z" }, "currentLocation": { "country": "KM", "lon": -78789486, } } }; const transformObject = (obj = {}) => { if (obj && typeof obj === 'object') { return Object.keys(obj).map((el) => { let children = transformObject(obj[el]); return children ? { label: el, children: children } : { label: el }; }); }; }; console.log(JSON.stringify(transformObject(obj), undefined, 4));
Output
And the output in the console will be −
[ { "label": "context", "children": [ { "label": "device", "children": [ { "label": "localeCountryCode" }, { "label": "datetime" } ] }, { "label": "currentLocation", "children": [ { "label": "country" }, { "label": "lon" } ] } ] } ]
