-- Require some JSON library.
-- You can get lua-cjson from luarocks.
local json = require 'cjson'

-- You probably get this from a file or something in your actual code
local your_json_string = "string_containing_json"

-- Parse the json into a Lua table
local data = json.decode(your_json_string)

-- Iterate over the array like any other Lua sequence
for i, attribute in ipairs(data.obj1.attributes) do
   -- Do whatever you want with the val and attrid values
   print(attribute.val)
   print(attribute.attrid)
end
