extracting a data from json array by certain key in js-CodePudding

I have a json array wchich im getting my react data from it, the json is like this:

    {
     "Folders": [
       {
         "name": "parent 2",
         "children": [        //this is children_1
            {
              "name": "parent 2",
              "id": "parent 2",
              "children": []     //this is children_2
             }
           ],
           "id": 1
        }
      ]
    }

lets say i have the key value of name inside children(children_1) and i want to get the rest of the data inside that children using the name that i have, is there a way to do that ?

CodePudding user response：

Look at jsonpath

so it will be

var json = require('jsonpath');
var names = jp.query(json, '$.Folders[*].children[*].children');
