Get index of a key in json

Question

I have a json like so:

json = { \"key1\" : \"watevr1\", \"key2\" : \"watevr2\", \"key3\" : \"watevr3\" }

Now, I want to know the index of a key

Answer 1

What you have is a string representing a JSON serialized javascript object. You need to deserialize it back a javascript object before being able to loop through its properties. Otherwise you will be looping through each individual character of this string.

var resultJSON = '{ "key1" : "watevr1", "key2" : "watevr2", "key3" : "watevr3" }';
    var result = $.parseJSON(resultJSON);
    $.each(result, function(k, v) {
        //display the key and value pair
        alert(k + ' is ' + v);
    });

or simply:

arr.forEach(function (val, index, theArray) {
    //do stuff
});
