How do I access the name of an item in an Object Literal using jQuery?

For example how would I read “title”, “link”, “media”, ect… in this

{
    "title": "What we do in our free time...",
    "link": "http://www.flickr.com/photos/tnhimmies/4042938515/",
    "media": {"m":"http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2572/4042938515_3a00561320_m.jpg"},

    You can also use the $.each function:

    var obj = { one:1, two:2, three:3, four:4, five:5 };

$.each(obj, function(key, value) {
  //..
});

    If you go for the for...in statement way, I would recommend you to check if the property resides directly on the object being iterated, because you could have some issues, if the Object.prototype is extended:

    for(var key in obj) {
  if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)){
    // value = obj[key];
  }
}
