Dynamically selecting objects from an array

Question

Myself have a javascript array,

var array = [{"div0" : [2, 1, 3, 5]}, {"div1" : [1,5,7,8]}, {"div2" : [6,9,11]}];

which contains json objects as values. I can select each object individually as array[0].div0, array[1].div1, array[2].div2.

But how can I select each object dynamically using jquery .each() function so that I can use each objects for different events something like as given in this example fiddle

That's not JSON, that's Javascript object literals. JSON is a text format to represent object. If your array was var array = ['{"div0" : [2, 1, 3, 5]}', '{"div1" : [1,5,7,8]}', '{"div2" : [6,9,11]}']; then it woult be JSON. — Guffa

Thank you @Guffa for your concern. Actually the json is dynamically returning from an ajax call. So, it should be a valid json only. Here I simply given a sample to understand. — mpsbhat

In that case it would be the entire array that is delivered as JSON and then parsed into an array of objects. The array would never contain JSON. — Guffa

You could use the following syntax:

var id = $(this).prop("id");
var arr = array[index][id];
