How do I get the value from a javascript dictionary? (I don't even know if it's called a dictionary in javascript)

I get the following object (friends) from the facebook sdk. How do I, for example, loop through the names?

{data: [{id: xxxxx, name: Friend name}, {id: xxxxx, name: Friend name}]}

In JavaScript dictionaries are objects. To access object properties you may use either dot notation or square brackets notation. To iterate an array you may use simple for loop.

var obj = {

        data: [{

            id: xxxxx,

            name: Friend name

        }, {

            id: xxxxx,

            name: Friend name

        }]

    };



for (var i = 0, len = obj.data.length; i < len; i++) {

    console.log(obj.data[i].name);

}
