Nested JSON with Incrementing Key Values

Question

I am trying to read a nested JSON message where they key values are incrementing integer values but it does not seem to work.

$.each(data.post, function(entryIndex, entry) {
    $.each(this.entryIndex, function() {
        alert(this.username);
    });
});

Sorry, I tried to paste the JSON code here, but I kept on getting a formatting error. Instead, I have uploaded the JSON here.

Can we see the JSON you are working with? Are you sure the JSON string has been parsed into an object? — Chad

Could you provide the json object structure? Maybe some example data that it would contain? — Wes Crow

You went a level too deep:

    $.each(data.posts, function() {

            alert(this.username);

    });

This will get you the usernames of the replies:

    $.each(data.posts, function() {

        $.each(this.replies, function(){
            alert(this.username);
        });

    });
