I have been using $.each of the jQuery framework to iterate through a JSON string that I receive via an AJAX call. Now this string is sometimes quite huge and as a result IE6/7/8 crawl as a result.

I am wondering if there is a faster way to iterate through the entire data.

Thank you for your time.

How are you iterating through it? Are you parsing it, or are you evaling it? Do you need just certain parts? –  altCognito Jun 26 '09 at 19:02

How about using the regular javascript functions?

If for example you have a JSON object with items in them, you could just eval the JSON string to convert it to javascript objects, and iterate over them using 'for (i in object)'.

I assume Alec is using the json dataType in the xhr call therefore jquery will be eval'ing the response. –  redsquare Jun 26 '09 at 19:10
