Given JSON String/object

{
    "selectAll": false,
    "include": {
        "country_197": {
            "id": "197",
            "data_type": "country",
            "name": "Singapore",
            "desc": "",
            "parent_key_id": "all_all",
            "status": ""
        },
        "country_100": {
            "id": "100",
            "data_type": "country",
            "name": "India",
            "desc": "",
            "parent_key_id": "all_all",
            "status": ""
        }
    },
    "exclude": {
        "state_2": {
            "id": "2",
            "data_type": "state",
            "name": "Andhra Pradesh",
            "desc": "",
            "parent_key_id": "country_100",
            "status": ""
        }
    }
}

Given search string is: country_100

Required : Have to search for country_100 in Given JSON String/object by key parent_key_id Ex: searching country_100 is found :

{
    "selectAll": false,
    "include": {
        "country_197": {
            "id": "197",
            "data_type": "country",
            "name": "Singapore",
            "desc": "",
            "parent_key_id": "all_all",
            "status": ""
        },
        "country_100": {
            "id": "100",
            "data_type": "country",
            "name": "India",
            "desc": "",
            "parent_key_id": "all_all",
            "status": ""
        }
    },
    "exclude": {
        "state_2": {
            "id": "2",
            "data_type": "state",
            "name": "Andhra Pradesh",
            "desc": "",
            "parent_key_id": "**country_100**",
            "status": ""
        }
    }
}

So return True, else return false.
This is what I have so far

var id = 'country_100', found = false;
for (var i=0; i<data.length; i++) { 
    console.log(data[i].exclude['state_2'].parent_key_id); 
    if (data[i].exclude['state_2'].parent_key_id == id) { 
        found = true; 
        break; 
    }
}

Answer 2

good to see you formatted the object :)

var id = 'country_100', found = false; 
if(data['exclude']['state_2']['parent_key_id'] === id) {
    found = true;
}

why are you using the loop? unless your object is like

data = {
    1: {"selectAll":false, "include":..., "exclude": ...},
    2: {"selectAll":false, "include":..., "exclude": ...},
    3: {"selectAll":false, "include":..., "exclude": ...}
};

Answer 3

what i am wondering what's dynamic? state_2?you mean you don not know it's state_2 or state_3, or anything others.then you can do this way:

for(var p in data[i].exclude){
    data[i].exclude[p];//here p is what you want
}
