Question

I’m trying to get a JSON response and iterate through the data. Here is the response I get:

[{"category":{"category":"sell"},"subcategory":{"subcategory":"cars"}}]

Then I run that through JSON.parse() and then when I try to access data I get undefined.

for (var category in myJson) {
     console.log(category.category); //this is undefined
}

Does anyone have any ideas on why this isn’t working as I am intending to? Is my JSON format incorrect?

Answer 1

Try this:

for(var i in myJson)
   console.log(myJson[i]);

Your code is wrong because you’re trying to access the ‘category’ property of the iterator variable.
