You can use some method to check whether array satisfies some conditions:

const result = data.some(s=> s.id == 5 && s.name =='John Smith');

const data = [
  {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "George Smith",
    "username": "John",
    "email": "John@may.biz",
    "address": {
      "street": "Kennedy",
      "suite": "Apt. 332",
      "city": "Paris",
      "zipcode": "12322-3874",
      "geo": {
        "lat": "-57.3189",
        "lng": "81.1496"
      }
    },
    "phone": "1-999-736-444 x343343",
    "website": "web.org",
    "company": {
      "name": "Amaon",
      "catchPhrase": "Multi-layered",
      "bs": "e-markets"
    }
  },
  {
    "id": 5,
    "name": "John Smith",
    "username": "johny",
    "email": "johny@john.com",
    "address": {
      "street": "Oxford",
      "suite": "Suite 334",
      "city": "London",
      "zipcode": "12345",
      "geo": {
        "lat": "-32.3434",
        "lng": "45.4543"
      }
    },
    "phone": "(121)954-3457",
    "website": "smith.info",
    "company": {
      "name": "Law LLC",
      "catchPhrase": "Customer first",
      "bs": "E2E system"
    }
  }
]


const result = data.some(s=> s.id == 5 && s.name =='John Smith');
console.log(`Has John Smith: ${result}`)

const hasJoseph = data.some(s=> s.id == 5 && s.name =='Joseph');
console.log(`Has Joseph: ${ hasJoseph }`);

cannot add "const data = [", the response is coming as it is – John Nov 23 '19 at 15:06
@John do you have an array of the above data? – StepUp Nov 23 '19 at 15:07
@John and just use `some` method in JavaScript code – StepUp Nov 23 '19 at 15:23
var jsonData = pm.response.json(); const result = jsonData.some(s=> s.id == 5 && s.name =='John Smith'); tests["Result: " + result] = true; it is returned 'passed' with any name I put – John Nov 23 '19 at 16:02
@John I've just added some tests to my code. Check it, pls – StepUp Nov 23 '19 at 16:09
