Help with JSON/simpleJSON and arrays would be appreciated.

Hi. I need to pass JSON-data to unity through a text file. I've been using simpleJSON and I've got the data into unity the way I want it, but I just can't find an easy way of looping through/accessing or finding specific keys in the JSON object, which I need to do often.

So, my question is, how can I "translate" the JSON-object to a standard multidimensional associative JS list/array (I get confused, I've been learning JS, PHP and Python simultaneously) so that it's easier to use? I'm not a complete noob, but the "object" part in "object oriented" is still largely a mystery to me.


Here's the JSON data I've been testing with:

Code (csharp):

1. {
2. "Apple": {
3.     "ingameName" : "Apple",
4.     "description": "This sure is an apple",
5.     "action": "options",
6.     "options": {
7.         "lick_apple" : {"action" : "none", "comment" : "Tastes like pesticides"},
8.         "eat_apple" : {"action" : "remove", "comment" : "It just vanished"},
9.         "steal_apple" : {"action" : "take", "comment" : "I took that apple good"} },
10. },
11. "Kontorsstol": {
12.     "ingameName" : "Kontorsstol",
13.     "description": "It looks pretty uncomfortable",
14.     "action": "push",
15.     "actionParameter": 500
16. },
17. "Treasure": {
18.     "ingameName" : "Treasure",
19.     "description": "This is the prettiest treasure I've seen",
20.     "action": "take",
21. }
22. }

Any help appreciated.

 

Anybody? I'm basically only looking for a way to get JSON data into a regular array.
