jQuery: Identify a value of declared variable is the same as the value within a list of keys in an array -

i have set of array in json followed:

{"status":200,"success":true,"result": [{"id":"0","name":"user1","type":"mf","message":"bonjour user1"}, {"id":"1","name":"user2","type":"ff","message":"hello user2"}, {"id":"2","name":"user3","type":"mm","message":"konnichiwa user3"}, {"id":"3","name":"user4","type":"mf","message":"ni hao user4"}, {"id":"4","name":"user5","type":"ff","message":"high 5! user5"}]} 

i ask how identify if value of declared variable (eg. "getname" value of "user1") same value within list of "name" keys in array?

below attempt , might find full code here:

var apiurl = "https://sheetsu.com/apis/f924526c";   $.getjson(apiurl,function(json){      console.log(json.stringify(json));          var getname = $.each(getname, function(content, json){             console.log(json.name);             console.log(getname[content].id);         });          var identifiedid = $.each(getname, function(){             console.log(this.name);             console.log(this.id);         }) }); 

i not sure if understood code, in order loop trough json , find key value want use:

$.each(json.result, function() {      //here can store id.      $.each(this, function(key, value) {         console.log(key + ' ' + value);         //test if key  = username want , store value      }); }); 

you can 1 loop since know key check

$.each(json.result, function() {     if (this.name == "name for"){         idyouneed = this.id;     } }
