You should use a datastore and proxy in ExtJs. There are plenty of examples of this, and the JSON reader automatically parses the JSON message into the model you specified.

There is no need to use basic Javascript when using ExtJs, everything is different, you should use the ExtJs ways to get everything right. Read there documentation carefully, it's good.

By the way, these examples also hold for Sencha Touch (especially v2), which is based on the same core functions as ExtJs.

In a for-in-loop the running variable holds the property name  not the property value   for  var counter in jsonData counters        console log jsonData counters counter  counter name       But as counters is an Array  you have to use a normal for-loop   for  var i 0  i lt jsonData counters length  i          var counter   jsonData counters i       console log counter counter name

Javascript has a built in JSON parse for strings  which I think is what you have   var myObject   JSON parse  my json string      to use this with your example would be   var jsonData   JSON parse myMessage   for  var i   0  i  lt  jsonData counters length  i          var counter   jsonData counters i       console log counter counter name       Here is a working example  EDIT  There is a mistake in your use of for loop  I missed this on my first read  credit to  Evert for the spot   using a for-in loop will set the var to be the property name of the current loop  not the actual data  See my updated loop above for correct usage  IMPORTANT  the JSON parse method wont work in old old browsers - so if you plan to make your website available through some sort of time bending internet connection  this could be a problem  If you really are interested though  here is a support chart  which ticks all my boxes

Not sure if my data matched exactly but I had an array of arrays of JSON objects  that got exported from jQuery FormBuilder when using pages    Hopefully my answer can help anyone who stumbles onto this question looking for an answer to a problem similar to what I had   The data looked somewhat like this    var allData                                   type   text                label   Text Field                                     type   text                label   Text Field                                                type   text                label   Text Field                                     type   text                label   Text Field                      What I did to parse this was to simply do the following    JSON parse     allData toString

Sencha way  for interacting with server data is setting up an Ext data Store proxied by a Ext data proxy Proxy  in this case Ext data proxy Ajax  furnished with a Ext data reader Json  for JSON-encoded data  there are other readers available as well   For writing data back to the server there s a Ext data writer Writers of several kinds   Here s an example of a setup like that       var store   Ext create  Ext data Store             fields                 counter name                counter type                counter unit                      proxy                type   ajax               url   data1 json                reader                    type   json                   idProperty   counter name                   rootProperty   counters                                    data1 json in this example  also available in this fiddle  contains your data verbatim  idProperty   counter name  is probably optional in this case but usually points at primary key attribute  rootProperty   counters  specifies which property contains array of data items   With a store setup this way you can re-read data from the server by calling store load    You can also wire the store to any Sencha Touch appropriate UI components like grids  lists or forms

The answer with the higher vote has a mistake  when I used it I find out it in line  3    var counter   jsonData counters i     I changed it to    var counter   jsonData i  counters    and it worked for me  There is a difference to the other answers in line 3    var jsonData   JSON parse myMessage   for  var i   0  i  lt  jsonData counters length  i          var counter   jsonData i  counters      console log counter counter name

Just as a heads up     var data   JSON parse responseBody     has been deprecated   Postman Learning Center now suggests  var jsonData   pm response json
