loop through json array jquery

Question

I\'m trying to loop through this to get the \'name\' values. This is what I currently have, but it doesn\'t seem to be working, tried a few others from what was posted here

Answer 1

You have to parse the string as JSON (data[0] == "[" is an indication that data is actually a string, not an object):

data = $.parseJSON(data);
$.each(data, function(i, item) {
    alert(item);
});
