The first code is an example of Javascript code, which is similar, however not JSON. JSON would not have 1) comments and 2) the var keyword
You don't have any comments in your JSON, but you should remove the var and start like this:
Copyorders: {
The [{}] notation means "object in an array" and is not what you need everywhere. It is not an error, but it's too complicated for some purposes. AssociatedDrug should work well as an object:
Copy"associatedDrug": {
"name":"asprin",
"dose":"",
"strength":"500 mg"
}
Also, the empty object labs should be filled with something.
Other than that, your code is okay. You can either paste it into javascript, or use the JSON.parse() method, or any other parsing method (please don't use eval)
Update 2 answered:
Copyobj.problems[0].Diabetes[0].medications[0].medicationsClasses[0].className[0].associatedDrug[0].name
returns 'aspirin'. It is however better suited for foreaches everywhere

I successfully solved my problem. Here is my code:
The complex JSON object:
Copy {

The jQuery code to grab the data and display it on my webpage:
Copy$(document).ready(function() {
var items = [];
$.getJSON('labOrders.json', function(json) {
$.each(json.medications, function(index, orders) {
$.each(this, function() {
$.each(this, function() {
items.push('<div class="row">'+this.name+"\t"+this.strength+"\t"+this.dose+"\t"+this.route+"\t"+this.sig+"\t"+this.pillCount+"\t"+this.refills+'</div>'+"\n");
});
});
});
$('<div>', {
"class":'loaded',
html:items.join('')
}).appendTo("body");
});
});

You don't need to use arrays.
JSON values can be arrays, objects, or primitives (numbers or strings).
You can write JSON like this:
{
"stuff": {
"onetype": [
{"id":1,"name":"John Doe"},
{"id":2,"name":"Don Joeh"}
],
"othertype": {"id":2,"company":"ACME"}
},
"otherstuff": {
"thing": [[1,42],[2,2]]
}
}
You can use it like this:
obj.stuff.onetype[0].id
obj.stuff.othertype.id
obj.otherstuff.thing[0][1] //thing is a nested array or a 2-by-2 matrix.
//I'm not sure whether you intended to do that.
Every object has to be named inside the parent object:
{ "data": {
"stuff": {
"onetype": [
{ "id": 1, "name": "" },
{ "id": 2, "name": "" }
],
"othertype": [
{ "id": 2, "xyz": [-2, 0, 2], "n": "Crab Nebula", "t": 0, "c": 0, "d": 5 }
]
},
"otherstuff": {
"thing":
[[1, 42], [2, 2]]
}
}
}
So you cant declare an object like this:
var obj = {property1, property2};
It has to be
var obj = {property1: 'value', property2: 'value'};
