Say, I have that simple array of objects.
var x = [ { id: 1001 name: \"Jim\", surname: \"
A simple loop will suffice:
for(var i=0, len=x.length; i < len; i++){ if( x[i].id === 1002){ //do something with x[i] } }
Even though you are dealing with json remember that it's all just a hierarchy of arrays, objects and primitives.
