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

Try this

var json = '{ "key1" : "watevr1", "key2" : "watevr2", "key3" : "watevr3" }';
json = $.parseJSON(json);

var i = 0, req_index = "";
$.each(json, function(index, value){
    if(index == 'key2'){
        req_index = i;
    }
    i++;
});
alert(req_index);
