How to iterate json with javascript?

Question

I want to get data from a json string. I want to get data from element name: url, width and height. It is located inside feed > entry > media$group > media$content > I also want get element name: $t which is lcoated in feed > entry > media$group > media$title >

I want to iterate this data so I get every url,width,height and $t but I'm having trouble with my code. It doesn't seem to work so can anyone help me fix it?

var data = JSON.parse(data);
for (var i in data.feed.entry) {
  document.write(data.feed.entry[i].media$group.media$content[0].url + 
    "|title:" + data.feed.entry[i].media$group.media$title.$t + 
    "|width:" + data.feed.entry[i].media$group.media$content[0].width + 
    "|height:" + data.feed.entry[i].media$group.media$content[0].height +
    "<br />"
  );
}

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://incredibleanime.com/data.json"></script>

You can use this json formatter to make it easy to read json http://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer

The final output should look like this:

http://domain.com/pic.jpg|title: pic.jpg|width: 100px|height: 100px
http://domain.com/pic2.jpg|title: pic2.jpg|width: 100px|height: 100px
http://domain.com/pic3.jpg|title: pic3.jpg|width: 100px|height: 100px

Please include a minimal, complete and verifyable example of your problem in your question. — Freyja

Well I couldn't make the json smaller so I made the script to read it remotely — TravelWhere

Looking at the data, you should be looping in data.feed.entry, since that's where the relevant array is located. From there you can get the fields you need. Note that media$content is a single item array, so you have to access that accordingly.

Assuming you retrieved the JSON and parsed it into a variable called data:

for (var i in data.feed.entry) {
  document.write(data.feed.entry[i].media$group.media$content[0].url + 
    "|title:" + data.feed.entry[i].media$group.media$title.$t + 
    "|width:" + data.feed.entry[i].media$group.media$content[0].width + 
    "|height:" + data.feed.entry[i].media$group.media$content[0].height +
    "<br />"
  );
}

Here's a demo with a subset of your data:
