How could I parse through this JSON object in JQuery?

I have a JSON object that doesn't have a key for the three values given (each is an array) and I want to parse through them. How might I do this in JQuery?

[
    {
        "cid": "3",
        "pid": "0",
        "nid": "12",
        "uid": "4",
        "subject": "test2",

        "hostname": "127.0.0.1",
        "created": "1374084646",
        "changed": "1374084645",
        "status": "1",
        "thread": "02/",
        "name": "chrisr",
        "mail": "",
        "homepage": "",
        "language": "en",
        "uuid": "e4729a69-7f6f-4091-98a0-0a040fe683f1",

    },
    {
        "cid": "2",
        "pid": "0",
        "nid": "13",
        "uid": "4",
        "subject": "TEST comment 2",
        "hostname": "127.0.0.1",
        "created": "1374072245",
        "changed": "1374072244",

        "status": "1",
        "thread": "01/",
        "name": "chrisr",
        "mail": "",
        "homepage": "",
        "language": "en",
        "uuid": "b4d5a084-8aa3-4828-b6e4-17396cbaf2f6",
    },
    {
        "cid": "1",

        "pid": "0",
        "nid": "12",
        "uid": "4",
        "subject": "test comment",
        "hostname": "127.0.0.1",
        "created": "1374072176",
        "changed": "1374072175",
        "status": "1",
        "thread": "01/",
        "name": "chrisr",

        "mail": "",
        "homepage": "",
        "language": "en",
        "uuid": "7ade4906-7d6e-4cad-9f97-7f43eadea731",
    }
]

Answer

Your JSON is not valid.

Once you create a valid JSON string, parsing it is very simple.

Use the following steps:

1. remove the commas after the last property of each object


2. remove the newlines


3. wrap the JSON text in single quotes


4. call jQuery.parseJSON() on the text

Here's a working fiddle.

It does something like this:

var jsonText = '[ { "cid": "3", "pid": "0", "nid"...} ]';
var jo = $.parseJSON(jsonText);
