JavaScript: Accessing Object [Object] from local storage in html5

i've got this code to list all saved players in a game:

function getAllPlayers(){
for (var i = 0; i <= playerCount; i++){
  object[i] = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("savedData"+i));
  console.log(object[i]);
   }
}

I get object[object], which is a collection of objects. In console, I get to see their properties and values, however with: 

for (var name in object) {
  alert('"' + name + '"="' + object[name] + '"');
}

I still cannot access these properties. Is there a method to get each object into a separate variable, so that I can access them via varName.property syntax?

The problem is because object is not really an object this is array of objects and you should access property of some object in this array

for (var i = 0; i < object.length; i++)
  for (var name in object[i]) {
    alert('"' + name + '"="' + object[i][name] + '"');
  }   

 //currently you have to read it like this
 for (var i = 0; i < object.length; i++){
   var singleObj = object[i][0];  // additional 0 index 
   for (var name in singleObj) {
    alert('"' + name + '"="' + singleObj[name] + '"');
  }   
  }

like you are using it here

console.log(object[i]);

If your problem is that you are getting [object Object] in your alert() box:

alert(someObject) calls native Object.toString() method of an argument passed, that is why you are getting [object Object].

Use JSON.stringify(someObject) to simply convert your object to JSON string, or implement your own method to generate a string from an object.
