how can achieve this?

thanks , time

you need use recursive function call everytime there array items:

$('body').append(fnmenu(menu));  function fnmenu(el){     var ul = $('<ul>')     $.each(el, function(){         var li = $('<li>')         li.append($('<a>', {text : this.title, href : this.href}));                    ul.append(li)         if(this.items) li.after(fnmenu(this.items));      })     return ul; }
