I have a lot of data stored in associative array.
array = {'key':'value'};
How to loop throught an array like this using an normal for loop and not a loop like here: http://jsfiddle.net/HzLhe/
I don't want to use for-in because of this problems: Mootools when using For(...in Array) problem
As others have pointed out, this isn't an array. This is a JavaScript object. To iterate over it, you will have to use the for...in loop. But to filter out the other properties, youw ill have to use hasOwnProperty.
Example:
var obj={'key1': 'value1','key2':'value2'};
for (var index in obj) {
if (!obj.hasOwnProperty(index)) {
continue;
}
console.log(index);
console.log(obj[index]);
}
JavaScript does not have the concept of associative arrays. Instead you simply have an object with enumerable properties, so use a for..in loop to iterate through them. As stated above you may also want to perform a check with hasOwnProperty to ensure that you're not performing operations on inherited properties.
for (var prop in obj){
if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)){
console.log(obj[prop]);
}
}
for .. inloop?.hasOwnPropertymethod to filter out the prototype chains propertiesfor .. inloop is the best to iterate objects.
