Merge two JSON objects with same key JavaScript

Simple example code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
  <script type="text/javascript">

    var g = [
    { id: 36, name: 'AAA', goal: 'yes' },
    { id: 40, name: 'BBB', goal: 'yes' },
    { id: 57, name: 'CCC', goal: 'yes' },
    { id: 14, name: 'DDD', goal: 'yes' },
    { id: 39, name: 'EEE', goal: 'yes' },
    { id: 37, name: 'FFF', goal: 'yes' },
    { id: 59, name: 'GGG', goal: 'yes' },
    { id: 50, name: 'III', goal: 'yes' },
    { id: 43, name: 'HHH', goal: 'yes' },
    { id: 35, name: 'JJJ', goal: 'yes' }
    ],
    c = [
    { id: 36, name: 'AAA', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 40, name: 'BBB', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 57, name: 'CCC', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 42, name: 'ZZZ', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 14, name: 'DDD', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 39, name: 'EEE', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 37, name: 'FFF', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 59, name: 'GGG', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 43, name: 'HHH', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 35, name: 'JJJ', circle: 'yes' },
    { id: 100, name: 'JJJ', circle: 'yes' }
    ],
    arrayList = [], obj_c_processed = [];

    for (var i in g) {
      var obj = {id: g[i].id, name: g[i].name, goal: g[i].goal};

      for (var j in c) {
        if (g[i].id == c[j].id) {
          obj.circle = c[j].circle;
          obj_c_processed[c[j].id] = true;
        }
      }

      obj.circle = obj.circle || 'no';
      arrayList.push(obj);
    }

    for (var j in c){
      if (typeof obj_c_processed[c[j].id] == 'undefined') {
        arrayList.push({id: c[j].id, name: c[j].name, goal: 'no', circle: c[j].circle});
      }
    }

    console.log(arrayList);
  </script>

</body>
</html>

More example

You could use Map and Object.assign for merging the objects.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var request1 = [{
      ObjId: 174864,
      ObjMutationD: "2010-07-09T00:00:00.000Z",
      ObjMitarbeiterS: "epf",
      ObjAufId: 142
    }, {
      ObjId: 175999,
      ObjMutationD: "2010-07-09T00:00:00.000Z",
      ObjMitarbeiterS: "epf",
      ObjAufId: 149
    }],
    request2 = [{
      ObjId: 174864,
      MulPfadS: "M:\\Originalbilder\\FGS\\95nn",
      MulDateiS: "9576.305-034-1",
      MulExtentS: "jpg"
    }, {
      ObjId: 177791,
      MulPfadS: "M:\\Originalbilder\\FGS\\95nn",
      MulDateiS: "9576.305-035-1",
      MulExtentS: "jpg"
    }];

    var result = [...[request1, request2].reduce((m, a) => (a.forEach(o => m.has(o.ObjId) && Object.assign(m.get(o.ObjId), o) || m.set(o.ObjId, o)), m), new Map).values()];

    console.log(result);
  </script>

Use concat() for arrays

Assuming that you would like to merge two JSON arrays like the below:

var json1 = [{id:1, name: 'xxx' ...}]
var json2 = [{id:2, name: 'xyz' ...}]

The solution is simply to use a JavaScript array concat()

var finalObj = json1.concat(json2);
