Loop and get key/value pair for JSON array using jQuery

You have a string representing a JSON serialized JavaScript object. You need to deserialize it back to 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 = '{"FirstName":"John","LastName":"Doe","Email":"[email protected]","Phone":"123 dead drive"}';
var result = $.parseJSON(resultJSON);
$.each(result, function(k, v) {
    //display the key and value pair
    alert(k + ' is ' + v);
});

Live demo.

var obj = $.parseJSON(result);
for (var prop in obj) {
    alert(prop + " is " + obj[prop]);
}

You can get the values directly in case of one array like this:

var resultJSON = '{"FirstName":"John","LastName":"Doe","Email":"[email protected]","Phone":"123 dead drive"}';
var result = $.parseJSON(resultJSON);
result['FirstName']; // return 'John'
result['LastName'];  // return ''Doe'
result['Email']; // return '[email protected]'
result['Phone'];  // return '123'
