The reason is that each attribute of obj used for judgment has been calculated once, and conditional blocking can be added to improve it:

var convert = function(obj) { return obj.map(o => ({ 'number': o.type === 'number ' && 1, 'string': o.type === 'string ' && 's', 'array': o.type === 'array ' && convert(o.children) }[o.type])) }

When there are few conditions to be judged, you can use multiple trinocular conditions to judge. If there are too many such judgments, this writing method should be more beautiful. If you cannot accept it, you may have to write if else.

Because your recursion has no termination condition

The error is that there are no children when the first one is reported

var convert = function(obj) { return obj.map(o => ({ 'number': 1, 'string': 's', 'array': o.children?convert(o.children):""//假设没有的时候返回空咯 }[o.type])) }
