## someEntry(obj: Object, condition: (value: Any, key: Key) -> Boolean): Boolean

Returns `true` if at least one entry in the object matches the specified condition.

The function stops iterating after the first element that matches the condition is found.

_Introduced in DataWeave version 2.3.0._

### Parameters

<table><colgroup><col> <col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p><code>obj</code></p></td><td><p>The object to evaluate.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><code>condition</code></p></td><td><p>The condition to use when evaluating elements in the object.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Example

This example shows how the `someEntry` behaves with different inputs.

#### Source

```DataWeave
%dw 2.0
import someEntry from dw::core::Objects
output application/json
---
{
    a: {} someEntry (value, key) -> value is String,
    b: {a: "", b: "123"} someEntry (value, key) -> value is String,
    c: {a: "", b: 123} someEntry (value, key) -> value is String,
    d: {a: "", b: 123} someEntry (value, key) -> key as String == "a",
    e: {a: ""} someEntry (value, key) -> key as String == "b",
    f: null someEntry (value, key) -> key as String == "a"
}
```

#### Output

```Json
{
  "a": false,
  "b": true,
  "c": true,
  "d": true,
  "e": false,

}
