In regular JavaScript, using the code below works fine and I can manipulate it easily:
var info = JSON.parse(document.getElementsByTagName("pre")[0].innerHTML);
alert(info[0]["AssetId"]);
But I'm working on a jQuery version of the same code to avoid using methods like iFrames
to get this data. My jQuery function is:
$.get (
page,
function parse(data) {
var r = $.parseJSON(data);
alert(r[0]["AssetId"]);
}
);
I found ways to convert the JSON
using jQuery, but I'm having trouble finding where the JSON code is that needs to be converted.
Provided that the response from the server is a valid string representation of a JSON object, you'll be able to specify the dataType
for the get()
request. You could do something like this:
$.get( page, function( data ) {
alert( data[0]["AssetId"] );
}, "json" ); // <-- here is the dataType
With the correct dataType
set, you will not need to manually parse the data, it will arrive in your callback function as a JSON object.
