Json – Extract a specified data object that resides inside a PDF form field to an external file

I am looking for a script to extract a data object nested inside a data object to a new data object. Aside from being able to easily clone the object by creating a new one, while I can also extract one of several objects nested inside an object that includes all its related properties and values, the name associated with the property and values is missing. Hence, I require a script to create a new object containing any one of several names including its related properties and values extracted from the existing object provided below.

{"J Doe Company":{"lastUpdate":"01/05/2023","website":"jdoecompany.com","userID":"[email protected]","password":"igfndhsi1985","primaryCC":"Discover","secondaryCC":"Capital One","primaryBank":"Chase","secondaryBank":"","sq1":"Year Graduated HS","sa1":"1985","sq2":"","sa2":"","notes1":"Sample password record","notes2":""},"Bob The Builder":{"lastUpdate":"01/05/2023","website":"bobthebuilder.com","userID":"[email protected]","password":"bbob1985","primaryCC":"Amazon Visa","secondaryCC":"Mastercard","primaryBank":"Wells Fargo","secondaryBank":"","sq1":"First Girlfriend's Name","sa1":"Kaye","sq2":"","sa2":"","notes1":"Sample password record","notes2":""},"SpongeBob Square Pants":{"lastUpdate":"01/07/2023","website":"spongebobsquarepants.com","userID":"[email protected]","password":"spongebob1999","primaryCC":"None/Not Applicable","secondaryCC":"","primaryBank":"None/Not Applicable","secondaryBank":"","sq1":"Year show debuted on TV","sa1":"1999","sq2":"","sa2":"","notes1":"Animated TV show for kids","notes2":""}}

    You can run cpdf -output-json in.pdf -o put.json and process the result. The format is described in the cpdf manual.

    Upon further trial and error after learning more about how to create and edit an object literal, the script required to add an object along with its key-value properties is as follows:

    dsFld =getField("dataSrc");// dataSRC is a hidden field containing a JS object converted to a JSON string
oVendors = JSON.parse(dsFld.value); // oVendors is a JS object
oVendors[event.value]=oVendorsPropValues;//oVendorsPropValues = {key-value pairs}
dsFld.value = JSON.stringify(oVendors);// convert the JS obj back to a JSON string
