Traversing in JSON Data

Question

I have a JSON data as shown below I want to traverse into it with loop but data.length is returning 1 while it should return 2. Please help me out how can I traverse into data with loop without modifying it var data=[{ 468040: { Author: William von Hagen Title: Ubuntu Linux Bible } 541115: { Author: Lohith G.N. Title: Windows Phone 7.5 Application Development with F# } }] alert(data.length); //returning 1 instead of 2

This is the solution I have created . It however uses Jquery . https://jsfiddle.net/KSPriyaranjan/unjrpbex/ The code uses nested looping . Let me know if this is what you intended to achieve . var data=[{ 468040: { Author: William von Hagen Title: Ubuntu Linux Bible } 541115: { Author: Lohith G.N. Title: Windows Phone 7.5 Application Development with F# } }] $.each(data function( MainIndex Mainvalue ) { $.each(Mainvalue function( SubIndex Subvalues ) { alert( SubIndex +  -  + Subvalues[Author] ); alert( SubIndex +  -  + Subvalues[Title] ); }); }); Thanks Priyan Please mark the suggestions as answer if you found it useful.

Hi Priyakaran Thanks for your valuable reply But I don't want to modify data because I am getting it from another service and this is huge as 5 MBs. I need some way to traverse it without modifying JSON

Hi Ashish  Ideally the JSON return array value should look like below : var data=[ {ID:468040 Author: William von Hagen Title: Ubuntu Linux Bible } { ID:541115 Author: Lohith G.N. Title: Windows Phone 7.5 Application Development with F# } ]; alert(data.length); for(var i = 0; i alert(data[i].Author); } Try to get the array value in this format and the looping should work . I have created a jsfiddle here with the above array format: https://jsfiddle.net/KSPriyaranjan/kjn40jdf/
