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"
