json.fields is an Array containing just one Object.
fields:
[ <-- An array
{ <-- An object
id: 'name', <-- A property
isValid: false,
...
}
]
If you want fields to contain an object, and you wish to iterate through
the properties of that object then you need to get rid of the array:
fields:
{
id: 'name',
isValid: false,
...
}
for (var propertyName in json.fields) {
alert(propertyName + ' = ' + json.fields[propertyName]);
}
