JSON issue, weird array/collection in data source

Hello

I was loading values from a JSON data feed with no problems

JSON

{"data":[{ "id":1, "main":"Title goes here", "description":"Description goes here", "icon":"10d" }]}

At first I could not read values inside the square brackets (json.decode returned nil) so I ran a gsub to remove the square brackets then saved the json then decoded it.

savedData = string.gsub (savedData, "%[", "") savedData = string.gsub (savedData, "%]", "")

I could then decode just fine.

tostring(\_G.myjsonobj.data.description))

Now my problem is i am encountering JSON that looks like this 

{"data": [{ "id":1, "main":"Title goes here", "description":"Description goes here", "icon":"10d" }, { "id":2, "main":"Title goes here", "description":"Description goes here", "value":"2" }]}

When I try and read say description after decoding the Json it is a nil value?

Is there a way to read the first portion (e.g tostring(_G.myjsonobj.description(0))) )

You can see how I read from JSON in a helpful reply I left here
