How to iterate over a JavaScript object?

Question

I have an object in JavaScript:

{
    abc: \'...\',
    bca: \'...\',
    zzz: \'...\',
    xxx: \'...\',
    ccc: \'...\',
    // ...
}

The only reliable way to do this would be to save your object data to 2 arrays, one of keys, and one for the data:

var keys = [];
var data = [];
for (var key in obj) {
    if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        keys.push(key);
        data.push(obj[key]); // Not necessary, but cleaner, in my opinion. See the example below.
    }
}

You can then iterate over the arrays like you normally would:

for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++){
    console.log(keys[i], data[i]);
    //or
    console.log(keys[i], obj[keys[i]]); // harder to read, I think.
}
for(var i = 100; i < 300; i++){
    console.log(keys[i], data[i]);
}

I am not using Object.keys(obj), because that's IE 9+.
