javascript or jquery: Looping a multidimensional object

Question

I just started playing around with JSON and I have created this example.

var shows = {

    \"ShowA\": 
                {   \"Date\"      : \"November 3-5, 2         


        

Answer 1

you can use a for ... in loop:

for(var key in shows) {
    if (shows.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        alert(shows[key].Date);
    }
}

It's important to note that an object has no sort order, but an array does. So if you wanted to sort by dates, you would need to use an array.

Also it's good practice to use Object.hasOwnProperty
