parse through JSON Jquery

Test.Customers = [{
    "CustomerPortals":[{
        "filename":"chrysanthemum.jpg",
        "ext":"jpg",
        },{
        "name":"Lighthouse.jpg",
        "filename":"lighthouse.jpg",
        "ext":"jpg",
        },{
        "filename":"lighthouse.jpg",
        "ext":"jpg",
        }
        }]

I have this json stored in my DOM. Sometimes there will be 0 items and sometimes multiple items in CustomerPortals array. But I want to parse through them and show the filename. Does jquery make it any simpler to do that?

I want to get the portalname for all the customers. the above was not showing sub arrays thanks

The only thing I can think of that jquery can help you with is the .each() function. Here is an example where I go through each filename in each customer.

Updated code to include Portals which holds the CustomerPortals. Let me know if I interpreted your comment incorrectly.

Updated code again to use the new example code. The example code was causing errors so I added { } around "Portals" and its value. If that wasn't the intended format for the code let me know.

var Test = {};

Test.Customers = [{"CustomerItems":
                            {"Portals":
                                {"id":"1","customer":"1950","resident":"yes",
                                "CustomPortals":
                                            [
                                            {"id":"11","test":"4251","portalname":"tye.jpg"},

I doubt it. JSON object hierarchies aren't visible as DOM nodes.

You could use a map function, which is very easy to write, and readily available in libraries like Functional JavaScript. Using it is simple:

filenames = Test.Customers[0].CustomerPortals.map(function(cp) { return cp.filename });

Then do whatever you want with the array of filenames.

EDIT: To confirm this, I ran the following code in a JavaScript test bench.

Test = {};

Test.Customers = [{
    "CustomerPortals":[{
        "filename":"chrysanthemum.jpg",
        "ext":"jpg",
        },{
        "name":"Lighthouse.jpg",
        "filename":"lighthouse.jpg",
        "ext":"jpg",
        },{
        "filename":"lighthouse.jpg",
        "ext":"jpg",
        }]
        }];

Array.prototype.map = function(fn) {
              var r = [];
              var l = this.length;
              for(i=0;i<l;i++)
              {
                  r.push(fn(this[i]));
              }
              return r; 
            };

alert(Test.Customers[0].CustomerPortals.map(function(cp) { return cp.filename }));

It displayed an alert with the following message:

chrysanthemum.jpg,lighthouse.jpg,lighthouse.jpg
