jquery json object

Question

I have a jquery json object like:

{"meta":{"limit":20,"next":null,"offset":0,"previous":null,"total_count":2},
"objects":[
{"body":"Body 1","date":"2013-01-15},
{"body":"Body 2","date":"2013-02-25}
 ]}

I would like to display looped data:

body 1, date
body 2, date

• ShaneBlake: could you maybe provide the HTML that you would like to display this information? have you thought of using a templating plugin?
• yckart: What the hell is a jQuery-JSON object? :P
• Dominic Green: Also your json is invalid you need to close your date with " otherwise nothing will work ie "date":"2013年01月15日"
• Peeyush: You can try like this objects[0]["body"] hope it will work

Answer 1

try this

var data= "yourjson";
$.each(data.objects,function(i,v){ 
 alert(v.body);
 alert(v.date);
});

had to correct some of the issues in the json.. like missing "... so please check the fiddle.

Answer 2

First of all, your JSON is invalid. You lack parentheses after date. This is a valid JSON:

var json = {"meta":{"limit":20,"next":null,"offset":0,"previous":null,"total_count":2},
"objects":[
{"body":"Body 1","date":"2013-01-15"},
{"body":"Body 2","date":"2013-02-25"}
]};

Please note the " sign after '2013-01-15' and after '2013-02-25'.

You can display 'body' and 'date' using JQuery's .each():

$.each(json.objects, function (index, obj) {
 console.log(obj.body + " " + obj.date);
});

Answer 3

You need to fix your json first as it is invalid as your not closing your date with "

{
 "meta": {
 "limit": 20,
 "next": null,
 "offset": 0,
 "previous": null,
 "total_count": 2
 },
 "objects": [
 {
 "body": "Body 1",
 "date": "2013-01-15"
 },
 {
 "body": "Body2",
 "date": "2013-02-25"
 }
 ]
}

Then something like this should work

 $.each(data.objects[0],function(i,v){ 
 alert(v.body+" - "+v.date);
 } 

Answer 4

var data = {"meta":{"limit":20,"next":null,"offset":0,"previous":null,"total_count":2},
 "objects":[
 {"body":"Body 1","date":"2013-01-15"},
 {"body":"Body 2","date":"2013-02-25"}
 ]};
for(var i = 0; i < data.objects.length; i++){
 alert(data.objects[i].body);
 alert(data.objects[i].date);
}

Answer 5

JSON objects are like key-value pairs.

Suppose this whole JSON object is in variable data then to read the content, do the following.

meta is an object containing different data, so to read limit, next and others you have to use data.meta.limit and so on.

Now objects is array type in which there are different objects.

So to read body, execute data.objects[0].body and so on.
