jQuery Mobile getJSON get data with var

Question

For example, I have a json file with cars from Ford and Volkswagen. Now I have a var where 'ford' or 'volkswagen' is stored. How can I use this var in combination with the data selection.

$.getJSON('file.json', function(data) {
    $.each(data.ford, function(i, item) {
        //do something      
    });
});


$.getJSON('file.json', function(data) {
    $.each(data.volkswagen, function(i, item) {
        //do something      
    });
});

I mean something like

var brand = 'ford';
data.+brand

You can access that item in the object by using something like:

var brand = 'ford';
data[brand];

You can read more here on dot and square bracket notation.
