Getting Data In

Array extraction with optional elements

psable

{
"Version" : 2
Diagnostic: [
{ Name: "Brian", School :"KVG" },
{ Name: "Steve", School :"MKG" },
{ Name: "Gerry" },
{LastName: "Todd", School :"HVD" }
]

How can I get these fields extracted so that it looks like this:

Name Last Name School

Brian - KVG
Steve - MKG
Gerry - -
- Obama HVD

Thanks !
