foreach for JSON array , syntax

Question

my script is getting some array from php server side script.

result = jQuery.parseJSON(result);

now I want to check each variable of the array.

Answer 1

You can do something like

for(var k in result) {
   console.log(k, result[k]);
}

which loops over all the keys in the returned json and prints the values. However, if you have a nested structure, you will need to use

typeof result[k] === "object"

to determine if you have to loop over the nested objects. Most APIs I have used, the developers know the structure of what is being returned, so this is unnecessary. However, I suppose it's possible that this expectation is not good for all cases.
