Check if a json key is a complex object javascript

USING IBP BPM 8.6:

I have a Json object as follows:

tw.local.stringifiedJSON = ""name":"ahmed","age":"20","job":"salary":"1000","position":"developer"";

I parsed into a javascript object:

var parsedJSONTW= JSON.parse(tw.local.stringifiedJSON);

I want to check if each key is complex (nested or has other keys and values in it like "job") or flat (has a value only like "name")

var finObj=;
 var i;

 for ( i in parsedJSONTW) { 
 if (finObj[i] === undefined) finObj[i] = ; 

tw.local.propertiesOfObject=Object.getOwnPropertyNames(parsedJSONTW[i]);

if(tw.local.propertiesOfObject==null || tw.local.propertiesOfObject.listLength==0) 
 
 finObj[i]= parsedJSONTW[i]; //expected to have name and age fields only

Using object.getOwnProperty() doesn't work with a flat object and gives the error of "expected an object but found a string"

You can use "typeof" for this:

let a = "name":"ahmed","age":"20","job":"salary":"1000","position":"developer"

for(let k in a)
 console.log(typeof a[k])
 if(typeof a[k] === 'object')
 console.log("nested")
 
 else
 console.log("flat")

so you did not parse the json string first?
