thejson = [ { name: 'Jany', id: '1246956' },
            { name: 'Azeez', id: '2246306' },
            { name: 'William', id: '22525926' },
          ]

How do I use a "foreach" loop and print out each name?

• 3 It is not JSON. It is an array of objects. – Felix Kling Commented Apr 27, 2011 at 19:47

var i;
for (i = 0; i < thejson.length; i++) {
    alert(thejson[i].name);
}

thejson.forEach(function (e) { printOut(e.name); });

should do the trick. You'll have to define "printOut" of course.

If you're concerned about older browser patibility, this works:

for (var i = 0, len = thejson.length; i < len; i++) {
  printOut(thejson[i].name);
}

Should work on every browser back to the dawn of Javascript.
