I have a JSON object that has a bunch of data about witnesses to an accident. It looks like this:

{
  'name0': John Doe,
  'name1': Jane Doe
}

I would like to access them using a loop and apply them to my sessionStorage like this:

sessionStorage.setItem(`w${count}Name`, `data.name${count}`);

I can't seem to get this to work....

hey there, you want have an item per property of your JSON object? – Dec 07 '18 at 18:59

Why won't you store the whole JSON? `sessionStorage.setItem('witnesses', JSON.stringify(jsonObject))` ? – DontVoteMeDown Dec 07 '18 at 18:59

`sessionStorage.setItem('w${count}Name', data['name${count}']);` – Brandon Dec 07 '18 at 19:00
maybe consider doing what DontVoteMeDown is suggesting. Maybe even encode the json before populating the session storage item. – Dec 07 '18 at 19:01
@Brandon - PERFECT! This works EXACTLY how I wanted. You are a ROCK STAR! – BackPacker777 Dec 07 '18 at 19:03
