Question

How would you reference the models (Accord, CRV, Prius, etc) in this structure? Is this a bad structure to be able to extract the makes…then use a make to get the models…then use the model to get the options?

var cars = [     {         'makes'   : 'Honda',         'models'   : [             {'Accord' : ['2dr','4dr']} ,             {'CRV'    : ['2dr','Hatchback']} ,             {'Pilot'  : ['base','superDuper'] }         ]     },      {         'makes'   : 'Toyota',         'models'  : [             {'Prius'   : ['green','reallyGreen']} ,             {'Camry'   : ['sporty','square']} ,             {'Corolla' : ['cheap','superFly'] }         ]     } ];               

Thanks

The structure:

var cars = [     { name: 'Honda', models: [                 { name: 'Accord', features: ['2dr', '4dr'] },                 { name: 'CRV', features: ['2dr', 'Hatchback'] },                 { name: 'Pilot', features: ['base', 'superDuper'] }         ]},      { name: 'Toyota', models: [                 { name: 'Prius', features: ['green', 'superGreen'] },                 { name: 'Camry', features: ['sporty', 'square'] },                 { name: 'Corolla', features: ['cheap', 'superFly'] }         ]} ]; 

I wrote about the traversal and everything else here.
