Loop Object literal using JavaScript

Here’s how to loop a JavaScript object literal and apply conditions to filter the object

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<
head>
<
title>Loop JavaScript Object by DevCurry.com</title>
<
script type="text/javascript">
var
jObj = [
{ "ID": "1", "Name": "Keith", "Age": "32" },
{ "ID": "2", "Name": "Bill", "Age": "36" },
{ "ID": "3", "Name": "Jack", "Age": "25" },
{ "ID": "4", "Name": "Mary", "Age": "39" },
{ "ID": "5", "Name": "Pallav", "Age": "29" }
];

var cnt = jObj.length;

for (var i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
if (jObj[i].Age >= 30)
document.write(jObj[i].Name +
' ' + jObj[i].Age + '</br>');
}

</script>
</
head>
<
body>
</body>
</
html>

As you can see, in the code shown above, we loop through the JavaScript object literal and print only those names whose age is >= 30. This will only print 3 out of 5 names and the output is as shown below:

Why there isn't any "DISLIKE" button?

You might consider updating the title to "Loop an Object Literal using JavaScript".

JSON is a serialized form of JavaScript (think of XML that represents a .NET object). The Object Literal syntax looks very similar to JSON, but there are differences and conceptually they are different.

You can check out Ben Alman's post for extensive details...
