    <p>I have a JSON object as follows.</p> <pre><code>{ "name":"Me", "groups": [ { "name":"My Garage", "groups":[ { "name":"My Cars", "groups":[], "tags":[ { "name":"Fiet Punto" }, { "name":"Gallardo" } ] }, { "name":"My Bikes", "groups":[] } ] }, { "name":"My Bank", "groups":[ { "name":"Swiss Bank", "groups":[] }, { "name":"Bank of America", "groups":[], "tags":[ { "name":"Account 1" }, { "name":"Account 2" } ] } ] } ], "tags":[ { "name":"My tag 1" }, { "name":"My tag 2" } ] } </code></pre> <p>My desired output is as follows:</p> <pre><code>Me --My Garage --My Cars --Fiet Punto --Gallardo --My Bikes --My Bank --Swiss Bank --Bank of America -- Account 1 -- Account 2 --My Tag 1 --My Tag 2 </code></pre> <p>I have a problem in building the recursion. What I want to do is:</p> <ul> <li>Take the root object.</li> <li>Print the <code>name</code>. </li> <li>Find if <code>groups</code> or <code>tags</code> exist in the object. </li> <li>if any of them exist then loop through the inner object.</li> <li>Apply the correct indentation and follow the steps above for the inner object.</li> </ul> <p>How can I achieve this?</p> <p>EDIT : </p> <pre><code>function getAllGroups(jsonObject) { //print the name of the current level object. $("body").append(jsonObject.name); //now if this object contains groups if( jsonObject.hasOwnProperty( 'groups' ) ) { //and if it is an array if( jsonObject.groups.length &gt; 0 ) { //then for each object in groups of this object, call the function again. $(jsonObject.groups).each(function(i, innerObject){ //print the index for debugging. console.log(i + innerObject.name); //make a recursive call to the function. getAllGroups(innerObject); }); } } else { console.log("does not exist anymore.") } } </code></pre> <p>I am unable to figure out how can I evaluate both <code>tags</code> and <code>groups</code> in parallel and print the names maintaining the level. </p> <p>More precisely I am not being able to figure out how to get the level of the tree.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
