json嵌套ul li jquery / javascript

Question

I am creating dynamic json using javascript from a drag and drop builder, Now I am unable to convert the json to Nested Ul li. The json is below.

[
  {
    "id": "11",
    "name": "BALANCE"
  },
  {
    "id": "p1",
    "name": "Conditions",
    "nodes": [
      {
        "id": "p1-13",
        "name": "SPINAL CORD INJURY",
        "nodes": [
          {
            "id": "p1-13-12",
            "name": "STROKE",
            "nodes": [
              {
                "id": "p1-13-12-17",
                "name": "REACHING"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "id": "p1-16",
    "name": "STRETCHES"
  },
  {
    "id": "p1-11",
    "name": "BALANCE"
  }
]

You can create a function and call recursively if there is nodes in item.

 var json = [{"id":"11","name":"BALANCE"},{"id":"p1","name":"Conditions","nodes":[{"id":"p1-13","name":"SPINAL CORD INJURY","nodes":[{"id":"p1-13-12","name":"STROKE","nodes":[{"id":"p1-13-12-17","name":"REACHING"}]}]}]},{"id":"p1-16","name":"STRETCHES"},{"id":"p1-11","name":"BALANCE"}]; function createUl(data, $elm) { data.forEach(function(item) { var $li = $('<li><span>' + item.name + '</span></li>'); $elm.append($li); if (item.nodes) { var $ul = $('<ul></ul>'); $li.append($ul); createUl(item.nodes, $ul); } }); }; createUl(json, $('ul'));
