Question /Expectation

Lets say this is a json


<sub>config:
{
subconfig:
{
target :{

}

}
}</sub>


normally i would do

^{var value = json.config.subconfig.target;}


buh how do i get it using a string
like so eval("json" + "config" + "subconfig" + "target"?

<i might be in the wrong prof>

Why would you want to do that?

because the json format might change and i want d code to adapt..

lets say d api is nested 3 levels and suddenly its 4 levels , how do i change d value seeing as d code is still doing ..

json[levelA][levelB][levelC]= "value"

now if the json is now under another object, the code would fail

Why would the configuration file change?

If I'm not mistaken, config file should be one of the easiest to set up.

Why not create a separate config file for the new changes?

What is stopping you from having a database.js, mail.js, session.js, cache.js, whatnot.js... Under a config directory?

too much js, too much to manage.
also m querying an api and i dont think its reliable
