Search a JavaScript object

Question

I have a JavaScript object like this:

[{
    name : "soccer",
    elems : [
        {name : "FC Barcelona"},
        {name : "Liverpool FC"}
    ]
},
{
    name : "basketball",
    elems : [
        {name : "Dallas Mavericks"}
    ]
}]

Now I want to search on this JavaScript object in the browser. The search for "FC" should give me something like this:

[
    {name : "FC Barcelona"},
    {name : "Liverpool FC"}
]

How to do this fast? Are there any JavaScript libs for this?

Answer 1

You might like using jLinq (personal project)

Works like LINQ but for JSON and it allows you to extend it and modify it however you want to. There is already a bunch of prebuilt methods to check values and ranges.
