How to access nameless objects in an array

Hey. I’m dealing with a database that I have to fetch Json country data and then parse it. However the country data is an array of nameless objects. Now I’ve scrolled through it, found the index, and then parsed it and that seemed to work fine, but the problem is when a new country is added it throws the index off (if the index for the US is 45 and something gets added above it it becomes 46). So that means I have to update the code each time something is added. Is there a better way of targeting a nameless object in an array?

Thanks in advance

Could you post your code? Its a little difficult to debug otherwise.
