How can I loop through a JavaScript object array?

I am trying to loop through the following:

{
    "messages": [{
        "msgFrom": "13223821242",
        "msgBody": "Hi there"
    }, {
        "msgFrom": "Bill",
        "msgBody": "Hello!"
    }]
}

I want to retrieve msgFrom and msgBody

I’ve tried:

        for (var key in data) {
           var obj = data[key];
           for (var prop in obj) {
              if(obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)){
                console.log(prop + " = " + obj[prop]);
              }
           }
        }

But the console log prints [Object]

Any ideas what im doing wrong?

Answer

It appears you may just have missed the "messages" property in the data, so the loop is likely iterating the root Object rather than the Array:

for (var key in data.messages) {
    var obj = data.messages[key];
    // ...
}

Unless data was set to messages before the given snippet.

Though, you should consider changing that to a normal for loop for the Array:

for (var i = 0, l = data.messages.length; i < l; i++) {
    var obj = data.messages[i];
    // ...
}
