Looping through JSON array - Formatting properly

Question

I have a result set that when I use json_encode() in php, returns the following

[
{"id":"1","name:","value"},
{"id":"2","name:","value"},
{"id":"3","name:","value"},
{"id":"4","name:","value"}
]

I'm then using jQuery to try and loop through this:

$.each(data, function(index, itemData){
  alert(itemData.id);
}

The problem is it's only getting the first record (id: 1).

Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

This works for me, corrected a few of your typos:

var test = [{"id":"1","name":"value"},{"id":"2","name":"value"}];

$.each(test, function(index, itemData){
  alert(itemData.id);
});

Answer 2

This is a basic exmaple on how to use the JSON response of a AJAX request:

$.getJSON("http://example.com",
 function(data){
   $.each(data.items, function(i,item){
     // do something
   });
});
