I'm trying to parse my JSON code through jQuery but I stuck with this situation.

My JSON code :

var options = 
    "Group": { /* This will dynamically change depending on user input */
        "Setting 1" : { /* This will dynamically change too depending on user input */
            "id": "related_posts",
            "name": "Related Posts",
            "desc": "Show Related Posts",
            "type": "checkbox",
            "std": 0
        },
        "Setting 2": { /* Also this will dynamically change depending on user input */
            "id": "breaking_news",
            "name": "Breaking News",
            "desc": "Hide Breaking News",
            "type": "checkbox",
            "std": 1
        }
    }

I tried this but it work only if it's constant :

options.Group["Setting 1"].id

In conclusion I want a method to get dynamic keys.

I forget to mention that I'm still learning jQuery so I don't have a lot of knowledge about it.

masked magician

so `options[groupName][settingName].id` ? – Pointy Aug 20 '15 at 00:15
@Pointy but how can I get the groupName and settingsName with jQuery because this is what I'm looking for. – masked magician Aug 20 '15 at 00:16
jQuery isn't going to help you at all. You can use `for ... in` to iterate through the property names of an object, or the `Object.keys()` function. – Pointy Aug 20 '15 at 00:17
@Pointy If you don't mind could you write the code for me because I'm still a beginner. Thanks – masked magician Aug 20 '15 at 00:19
@Pointy Thank you for your help, I found the solution. – masked magician Aug 20 '15 at 00:32
