It's a bit challenging to condense my goal into one question, but I'll try my best to clarify.
I currently have a JSON array that represents various HTML slider elements categorized within 3 control panes: Basic, Interface, and Advanced. Each pane contains multiple sliders and switches with unique attributes such as "position" and "label".
$json ='[{ "panename": "Basic","pane": "[{\"type\":\"slider\",\"label\":\"Sit Time\",\"id\":\"sitTime\",\"position\":\"0\",\"active\":\"true\"},{\"type\":\"slider\",\"label\":\"Snooze Number\",\"id\":\"snoozeNumber\",\"position\":\"3\",\"active\":\"true\"},{\"type\":\"slider\",\"label\":\"Snooze Duration\",\"id\":\"snoozeDuration\",\"position\":\"4\",\"active\":\"true\"},{\"type\":\"slider\",\"label\":\"Threshold\",\"id\":\"threshold\",\"position\":\"7\",\"active\":\"true\"}]" }, { "panename": "Interface", "pane": ...My objective is to parse the JSON data efficiently to generate a string of labels sorted by their position values. With a total of 14 sliders/switches, the goal is to arrange them accordingly based on their positions. For instance, sliders 0 and 1 (sitTime, releaseTime) belong to the "Basic" pane while switch 2 (naturalMode) is under the "Advanced" pane. The desired outcome would be something like this:
var labelStr='';
for (x=0;x < number of objects; x++){
if ('position' == x){
labelStr= labelStr + ',' + label of object at position x;
}
}
//For example:
// if ('position' == 0){
// labelStr= labelStr +',' + 'sitTime';
// }
}In the end, the output string would look like:
labelStr= "sitTime, releaseTime, naturalMode, snoozeNumber, snoozeDuration, volume, lockout ..."
However, I'm faced with the challenge of parsing the JSON structure effectively to achieve my desired result.
