Question

Just wondering if some one can help me with some a issue I am having parsing json data. I will start with a spinet of the JSON i won’t include all of it (JSON is also valid) :

"X_bizCardServiceLinks": [
    {
        "name": "blogs",
        "js_eval": "generalrs.label_personcard_blogslink",
        "href": "https:\/\/dc3-epag-03.tm-gnet.com\/blogs\/roller-ui\/blog\/dbb8fac0-42e4-102e-9409-b38b9530f95e"
    },
    {
        "name": "quickr",
        "js_eval": "generalrs.label_personcard_quickrlink",
        "href": "https:\/\/dc3-epag-03.tm-gnet.com\/quickr\/allfiles\/people\/[e-mail]"
    },
    {
        "name": "profiles",
        "js_eval": "generalrs.label_personcard_profilelink",
        "href": "https:\/\/dc3-epag-03.tm-gnet.com\/profiles\/html\/simpleSearch.do?searchFor=dbb8fac0-42e4-102e-9409-b38b9530f95e&searchBy=userid"
    },
    {
        "name": "activities",
        "js_eval": "generalrs.label_personcard_activitieslink",
        "href": "https:\/\/dc3-epag-03.tm-gnet.com\/activities\/service\/html\/mainpage#dashboard%2Cmyactivities%2Cuserid%3Ddbb8fac0-42e4-102e-9409-b38b9530f95e%2Cname%3DJonathan Popoola"
    },
    {
        "name": "dogear",
        "js_eval": "generalrs.label_personcard_dogearlink",
        "href": "https:\/\/dc3-epag-03.tm-gnet.com\/dogear\/html?userid=dbb8fac0-42e4-102e-9409-b38b9530f95e"
    },
    {
        "name": "communities",
        "js_eval": "generalrs.label_personcard_communitieslink",
        "href": "https:\/\/dc3-epag-03.tm-gnet.com\/communities\/service\/html\/allcommunities?userid=dbb8fac0-42e4-102e-9409-b38b9530f95e"
    },
    {
        "name": "wikis",
        "js_eval": "generalrs.label.personcard.wikislink",
        "href": "https:\/\/dc3-epag-03.tm-gnet.com\/wikis\/home\/search?uid=dbb8fac0-42e4-102e-9409-b38b9530f95e&name=Jonathan Popoola"
    },
    {
        "name": "files",
        "js_eval": "generalrs.label_personcard_fileslink",
        "href": "https:\/\/dc3-epag-03.tm-gnet.com\/files\/app\/person\/dbb8fac0-42e4-102e-9409-b38b9530f95e"
    }
],

What I need to do is access each child element of the “X_bizCardServiceLinks” and store the name and href to a variable – I am able to return all of the individual children but not target each child separately – I am using the following code :

$.each(response.X_bizCardServiceLinks, function(){
            $.each(this, function(n, v){
                var random = n;
                var anotherRandom = v;
                console.log(v); 
                //$("#linkTable tr").append("<td><a href=\""+ this.href +"\">"+ this.name +"</a>");
            });

        });

Response is the JSON but stored, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance,

You are trying much too hard

$.each(response.X_bizCardServiceLinks, function(){
    var name = this.name;
    var href = this.href;            
    console.log(name, href);
});
