This shouldn't be an issue, verify your json with an online tool.

  • my json is valid, i can access to categories without a space name but not the others containaing a space... I have something like this for one of the categories: 

    json = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
    for (i = 0; i < json.Beaute[0].Soins.length; i++) {
        article = json.Beaute[0].Soins[i];
    But When i want to access to the 'Soins Homme' category, i cant get anything
    json = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
    for (i = 0; i < json.Beaute[0].Soins Homme.length; i++) {
        article = json.Beaute[0].Soins Homme[i];

  • Soins Homme should be in quotes. Otherwise, the JavaScript interpreter will think that these are two different variables.

Dan is right, the space shouldn't be an issue.

Although make sure that your json properties and values are between quotes.

For example, this won't work:
{
    prop: value with spaces
}

But this will:
{
    "prop": "value with spaces"
}

  • thanks for your interest but I need something like this to work:

    {
    "prop name": "whatever value with spaces or not"
}

  • Yes, I figured that much.

    Try the following sintax:

    json.Beaute[0].["Soins Homme"]

  • tried this:

    for (i = 0; i < json.Beaute[0].["Soins Homme"].length; i++) {
    this:
    for (i = 0; i < json.Beaute[0]."Soins Homme".length; i++) {
    and this:
    for (i = 0; i < json.Beaute[0]["Soins Homme"].length; i++) {

    but nor working
