To parse nested arrays in JSON data, various programming languages and tools can be used to achieve this. Below are some common methods:

  1. Parsing JSON data.
const jsonData = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "hobbies": ["reading", "running", "cooking"]}';
const obj = JSON.parse(jsonData);

console.log(obj.hobbies[0]); // Output: reading
  1. transforming data into the json format
  2. parse the JSON data
import json

json_data = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "hobbies": ["reading", "running", "cooking"]}'
obj = json.loads(json_data)

print(obj['hobbies'][0]) # Output: reading
  1. Utilize online tools: Another option is to use online JSON parsing tools to parse nested array JSON data, such as https://jsonformatter.org/. Paste the JSON data into the tool, and you will be able to view the parsed data structure, making it easier to access and retrieve values from nested arrays.

Regardless of the method used, it is possible to access the values of nested arrays as needed in order to manipulate and operate on JSON data.
