    <p>This is my first attempt at doing JavaScript with some JSON data objects and need some advice on the proper way to attain my goal.</p> <p>Some server-side code actually generates a JSON formatted string that I have to work with and assign it to a string:</p> <pre><code>var dataString='$DATASTRING$'; </code></pre> <p>But the end-result I have to work with after the server substitutes its data (without the \r\n, of course):</p> <pre><code>var dataString='[ { "category" : "Search Engines", "hits" : 5, "bytes" : 50189 }, { "category" : "Content Server", "hits" : 1, "bytes" : 17308 }, { "category" : "Content Server", "hits" : 1, "bytes" : 47412 }, { "category" : "Search Engines", "hits" : 1, "bytes" : 7601 }, { "category" : "Business", "hits" : 1, "bytes" : 2847 }, { "category" : "Content Server", "hits" : 1, "bytes" : 24210 }, { "category" : "Internet Services", "hits" : 1, "bytes" : 3690 }, { "category" : "Search Engines", "hits" : 6, "bytes" : 613036 }, { "category" : "Search Engines", "hits" : 1, "bytes" : 2858 } ]'; </code></pre> <p>And then I can change it to an object to work with.</p> <pre><code>var dataObject=eval("("+dataString+")"); </code></pre> <p>This allows me to access the data individual rows of data, but I need to sum, group by, and order the values.</p> <p>I need to the equivalent of an SQL statement like this:</p> <pre><code>SELECT category, sum(hits), sum(bytes) FROM dataObject GROUP BY category ORDER BY sum(bytes) DESC </code></pre> <p>My desired output would be an object like this that I can further process:</p> <pre><code>var aggregatedObject='[ { "category" : "Search Engines", "hits" : 13, "bytes" : 673684 }, { "category" : "Content Server", "hits" : 3, "bytes" : 88930 }, { "category" : "Internet Services", "hits" : 1, "bytes" : 3690 }, { "category" : "Business", "hits" : 1, "bytes" : 2847 } ]'; </code></pre> <p>...but i don't know where to start.</p> <p>I could loop through all the category values and find the unique categories first, then loop again and sum the hits and bytes, then again to sort, but it seems there has got to be an easier way.</p> <p>prototype.js (1.7) is already included on the client page, but I could add Underscore, jQuery, or some other small library if I had to.</p> <p>I just don't know what would be best, easiest, smallest with the least amount of code to process the query.</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p>

    2. CONot bad. Good place to start looking, but still needs jQuery for the aggrgate functions. A little more than I wanted. could come in handy for another project I have in mind. Thanks

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
