How to parse android attributes from JSON converted from XML in Javascript?

Question

I am trying to parse android:versionName from following JSON object :

{
    "android:hardwareAccelerated": "true",
    "android:versionCode": "40020",
    "android:versionName": "4.0.20",
    "package": "com.xxx.xxx",
    "xmlns:android": "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
}

can anybody help me in this??

Thank you in advance

@UmaKanth, this is not duplicate of the thread which you are saying. Please check properly while commenting. — Chetan Purohit, Jan 25 '16 at 09:56
@ChetanPurohit I would suggest you to read the description of the tags properly and then tag them. This is nowhere related to `android` if you just want to parse an object with a android named element in it. — Uma Kanth, Jan 25 '16 at 10:10
@Uma Kanth, I am developing hybrid application by using Javascript. So, I guess I should specify Javascript. — Chetan Purohit, Jan 25 '16 at 10:15

If you have a pure string you need to parse your string to a JSON:

var data = JSON.parse(json);

Then you can access to property like an object:

var androidVersion = data["android:versionName"];

var jsonObject = JSON.parse('{"android:hardwareAccelerated":"true","android:versionCode":"40020","android:versionName":"4.0.20","package":"com.xxx.xxx","xmlns:android":"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"}');

document.write(jsonObject['android:versionName']);

In JavaScript it will be `data['android:versionName']` – Jamie Dixon Jan 25 '16 at 09:58
Thank you, also if the first comment with `.getString` was wrong :-P However I knew your solution, I had not noticed the colon. – erikscandola Jan 25 '16 at 10:01
Please somebody share your ideas about that if you have any. – Chetan Purohit Jan 25 '16 at 10:08
I tested it on jsFiddle and it works fine. Try to add [0] between data and ["android:versionName"]. This is a fix in case you have your json in square brakets. Do you have jQuery library? – erikscandola Jan 25 '16 at 10:12
Thank you @erikscandola for giving your valuable time and correct solution. :-) – Chetan Purohit Jan 25 '16 at 10:42

Use it like this Object['key'] - Property accessors - Bracket

for your JSON it will (Obj is just a representation of JSON Object):

obj['android:versionName']
