Find object by id in an array of JSON objects with Twig

Question

I am being passed an array that unfortunately I cannot restructure:

"options": [
            {"name":"namea","text":"valuea"},
            {"name":"nameb","text":"valueb"},
            {"name":"namec","text":"valuec"},
            {"name":"named","text":"valued"}
           ]

I need to be able to find the object with the name equal to namea, nameb, namec, etc. and then produce the appropriate text. I tried the following and few other variations of that but could not get it to work:

{% for item in event.options %} 
    {% if item.name == "nameb" %}
        {{ item.text|capitalize }}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: I basically only have access to a text box to input HTML and Twig. I do not have access to framework, custom extensions, etc.

Edit: JSON with exact formatting:

{
"source": "TEST.COM",
"trigger": "test",
"options": [{
            "name":"test_date",
            "value":"31-05-2017"
            },
            {
            "name":"test_number",
            "value":"9081003"
            },
            {
            "name":"test_test",
            "value":"9asd003"
            },
            {
            "name":"Name",
            "value":"Todd"
            },
            {
            "name":"test_other",
            "value":"kslkjsfd"
            },
            {
            "name":"test_help",
            "value":"908sdf3"
            }]
}

This is going to be very hacky either way (I feel the javascript way as mentioned in the comments would still be less hacky).

However as its multilined we could write a basic parser like thing (this is by no means bullet proof and fails if the content has a ", or the structure changes or whatever changes to be honest):

{# create an array of lines #}
{% set event = event|split('\n') %}

{# an array to hold our options #}
{% set options = [] %}

{# using a bool to track if we are inside the options part #}
{% set inOptions = false %}

{# this holds the name of the last name value we have passed #}
{% set currentKey = '' %}

{# go through each line #}
{% for line in event %}

    {# if we are inside the options tag do our magic #}
    {% if inOptions %}
        {# check if the line starts with "name": and track the current key name #}
        {# or check if it starts with "value": and set the current key to that value #}
        {% if line matches '/"name":/' %}
            {# split line on the double quotes and get the last bit #}
            {% set currentKey = line|split('"') %}
            {# cant get the array index piped in one go idk.. #}
            {% set currentKey = currentKey[3] %}
        {% elseif line matches '/"value":/i' %}
            {% set currentValue = line|split('"') %}
            {% set options = options|merge({(currentKey): currentValue[3]}) %}
        {% elseif line matches '/\s*}]/' %}
            {% set inOptions = false %}
        {% endif %}
    {% endif %}

    {# check for the options sectioning start #}
    {% if line matches '/^"options/' %}
        {% set inOptions = true %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{{ dump(options) }}

This returns in my dump (which you didn't have so you cant see):

array:6 [▼
  "test_date" => "31-05-2017"
  "test_number" => "9081003"
  "test_test" => "9asd003"
  "Name" => "Todd"
  "test_other" => "kslkjsfd"
  "test_help" => "908sdf3"
]

As an actual array where you can then call options.test_date but all this is super hacky, it still can be improved but twig is not made for it and the syntax gets so clunky its hard to maintain.
