No one really answered this question but how on earth can one use this JSON return data from a php/mysql direct using JavaScript?
Here is the return data once i used JSON.parse and saved it to the Javascript variable obj
[{"stuid":"10-00002","stuname":"Meratis, Velino","stucourse":"Arts","stustat":"0","stulyear":"4","stulog":"feb 16 2017"},{"stuid":"10-00003","stuname":"Melker, Alana","stucourse":"Wilderness","stustat":"1","stulyear":"5","stulog":"feb 16 2017"}]
I've tried the simple obj.stuname but it returns only an undefined i've tried many times to understand it but i can't seem to use this array at all.
Could anyone help on this?
I've also tried the reObj = {"stu":obj}; style but then it only returns an [object Object]
so please someone elaborate on this?
obj is a json array, so you have to access an element using its index.
Also, you have to use JSON.parse in order to turn a string of json text to a Javascript object.
Try this:
var stuname=obj[0].stuname;
var obj='[{"stuid":"10-00002","stuname":"Meratis, Velino","stucourse":"Arts","stustat":"0","stulyear":"4","stulog":"feb 16 2017"},{"stuid":"10-00003","stuname":"Melker, Alana","stucourse":"Wilderness","stustat":"1","stulyear":"5","stulog":"feb 16 2017"}]';
var objParsed=JSON.parse(obj);
console.log(objParsed[0].stuname);
If you want to iterate array, use forEach method.
var obj='[{"stuid":"10-00002","stuname":"Meratis, Velino","stucourse":"Arts","stustat":"0","stulyear":"4","stulog":"feb 16 2017"},{"stuid":"10-00003","stuname":"Melker, Alana","stucourse":"Wilderness","stustat":"1","stulyear":"5","stulog":"feb 16 2017"}]';
var objParsed=JSON.parse(obj);
objParsed.forEach(function(item){
console.log(item.stuname);
});
If you are getting this response from php via ajax.
Be sure to use dataType as json to get json type response not string.
Otherwise you need to parse json data like this
obj = JSON.parse(jsonStrFromPhp);
Then you can fetch data as obj.stuname or obj[0].stuname depends how you returned from php like this {"stu":obj} or like this [{"stu":obj}]
while i was having a migraine... of why my code was wrong it turned out that even though the obj = JSON.parse(jsonStrFromPhp); returned only an [object Object],[object Object] javascript can actually understand that shins and returned my variable... how confusing.
I have json returned from Database.I want to pick only one object Value and show it in the textbox. Here is my json.
[{
"ErrorMessage":"",
"ID":294,
"ExpenseID":0,
"EffectiveDate":"/Date(1262284200000)/",
"FormattedEffectiveDate":"01-01-2010",
"Perunit":null,
"VATRate":17.5,
"ChangedByID":1,
"ChangedByName":"superuser, superuser",
"Expense":null,
"ErrorSummary":null,
"ErrorList":[]
}]
I have Tried
var Jsoninvoice = JSON.stringify(data)
alert(Jsoninvoice.VATRate) and also alert(data.VATRate)
Thank you In advance.
You have an array containing 1 object. stringify turns this object into a string - you need it parsed so you can use it.
(I'm not sure if the object is parsed already, so to cover all bases, we'll parse it)
var Jsoninvoice = JSON.parse(data);
alert(Jsoninvoice[0].VATRate);
You have to specify the arrays index before you can access the properties.
It is already json object and stringify is not needed as #tymJV said you need to parse it if it is returned as string, just you need to access array item, as it is an array:
alert(data[0].VATRate)
SEE FIDDLE
You could use $.parseJSON(YOURJSON), and then use the keys to pull the data. Since it's in an array, you'll have to use [0] to pull the first item in the array (ie: your data).
Example
$(document).ready(function(){
var j ='[{"ErrorMessage":"","ID":294,"ExpenseID":0,"EffectiveDate":"/Date(1262284200000)/","FormattedEffectiveDate":"01-01-2010","Perunit":null,"VATRate":17.5,"ChangedByID":1,"ChangedByName":"superuser, superuser","Expense":null,"ErrorSummary":null,"ErrorList":[]}]';
var json = $.parseJSON(j);
alert("VATRate: "+json[0].VATRate);
});
Fiddle for reference
My code returns a JSON array, I think. The returned JSON array is stored in a javascript variable: result. If I
console.log(result);
in FF, I get the output
[{"id":"G24","value":"Zas, S"},{"id":"G75","value":"Wara, TS"},{"id":"G48","value":"Jala, S"}]
Validated on jsonLint to be correct json.
In my code, if I count the number of elements in the array like so:
var key, count = 0;
for(key in result)
{
count++;
}
console.log("result count is:" + count);
The output is 94 which is the length/count of characters in the array - [the sample output shown above is modified]
However, in the JSON tab in FF, it shows the result as being an array of objects:
0 Object { id="G24", value="Zas, S"}
1 Object { id="G75", value="Wara, TS"}
2 Object { id="G48", value="Jala, S"}
I have used alternative code pieces from 'stackoverflow' sources
for ( property in result )
{
if(result.hasOwnProperty(property))
{
count++;
}
}
And this has had the same outcome. How can I have iterate rightly over this array or array of objects or string or whatever else it is? And get the count please?. Thanks.
It sounds like you have an HTTP response returning a JSON document.
In the JSON tab, this is shown as JSON.
If your code, you are just taking the text of the response and operating on that.
You need to parse the JSON to create JavaScript objects.
Pass the string through JSON.parse and use json2.js to polyfill for older browsers.
You have to parse the JSON to create a JavaScript Array.
result = JSON.parse(result); // Now it's an array
console.log(result.length) // prints now what you want
My web service returned a JSON Array (ie. [{"key":"value"}, {"key":"value2"}]). In the array there are two items as you can see, which are separated with comma. I want to know how can I access the second item, and get the value of "key" for the second item.
I've tried:
var a = msg.d[1].key
With no success of course.
This is the returned string:
"[{"Code":"000000","Name":"Black","Id":9},{"Code":"BF2C2C","Name":"Red","Id":11}]"
The string was extracted using FireBug after watching the msg.d.
Need your help in solving this.
msg[1].key
Assuming that the name of that array is msg. I'm not sure what you are using .d for.
If msg.d is a string representing an array, use JSON.parse.
JSON.parse(msg.d)[1].key
You can replace key with the key you are wanting, e.g. Code, Name, Id, etc.
This works as expected for me.
var msg = [{"key":"value"}, {"key":"value2"}];
var a = msg[1].key;
What is msg in the example above? Need more info to help.
If msg.d is a string then you have to eval (uggh) or parse it before applying the array subscript.
I am been having trouble counting the number of objects in this array in server-side javascript.
Below is a JSON object which was parsed out using the array that I am trying to count.
NOTE: The object is in object form, not JSON string form.
JSON Object:
[{"dataSymbol":"21135103","isHoliday":false,"isIPO":false,"lastTradeTime":40073.49652777778,"strikePrice":"33.00","last":"1.30","change":"0.20","changePct":"18.1818","lastRaw":1.3,"ask":"1.40","bid":"1.30","lastTime":40073.49652777778,"tick":0,"openInterest":"13.6K","volume":"80311","expDate":40194,"coName":"AJR Jan0 33.0 C"},

I usually use myObject.length to count this type of array, but that is not working.
Response.Write(optionsQuotes.length);
The above code is returning a result of 21339646 as the count, when the actual count of the array is 5.
I would rather not have to loop through the array to count it, because I am looping through it later in order to draw a table, and I need to know the last iteration before the table draw begins.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
//here is where I am gettnig the array of objects...
var myObj = common.getMyObj("param1", "param2");
I serialized the object for the purpose of showing the contents of the array.
myObj.constructor is an Array.
This is on the server side also BTW.
ECMAScript doesn't handle the length of "assocative" arrays like PHP does - either use a real list that has a .length property, set the .length property manually in the JSON as you populate properties in the object, or do a for..in loop and make sure to use .hasOwnProperty and increment some counter.
Mhh... maybe is not a JSON object but an string and the length that is returning is the length of the string and not of the json array
With prototype you need to do something like
var data = '{ "name": "Violet", "occupation": "character" }'.evalJSON();
data.length
but this obviously is depending of the framework that you are using.
The bug must be somewhere else as the following
<script>
var foo = eval('[{"dataSymbol":"21135103","isHoliday":false,"isIPO":false,"lastTradeTime":40073.49652777778,"strikePrice":"33.00","last":"1.30","change":"0.20","changePct":"18.1818","lastRaw":1.3,"ask":"1.40","bid":"1.30","lastTime":40073.49652777778,"tick":0,"openInterest":"13.6K","volume":"80311","expDate":40194,"coName":"AJR Jan0 33.0 C"},{"dataSymbol":"21339645","isHoliday":false,"isIPO":false,"lastTradeTime":40073.50479166866,"strikePrice":"6.00","last":"2.11","change":"0.01","changePct":"0.4762","lastRaw":2.11,"ask":"2.15","bid":"2.10","lastTime":40073.50479166866,"tick":0,"openInterest":"105.00","volume":"62313","expDate":40285,"coName":"EK Apr0 6.0 C"},{"dataSymbol":"13511861","isHoliday":false,"isIPO":false,"lastTradeTime":40073.489583333336,"strikePrice":"113.00","last":"1.41","change":"-6.34","changePct":"-81.8065","lastRaw":1.41,"ask":"7.60","bid":"7.45","lastTime":40073.489583333336,"tick":0,"openInterest":"805.00","volume":"62975","expDate":40138,"coName":"SPY Nov8 113.0 P"},{"dataSymbol":"20718334","isHoliday":false,"isIPO":false,"lastTradeTime":40073.49375,"strikePrice":"40.00","last":"1.42","change":"-0.05","changePct":"-3.4014","lastRaw":1.42,"ask":"1.46","bid":"1.44","lastTime":40073.49375,"tick":0,"openInterest":"116.1K","volume":"60470","expDate":40194,"coName":"QQQQ Jan0 40.0 P"},{"dataSymbol":"20348966","isHoliday":false,"isIPO":false,"lastTradeTime":40073.47708333333,"strikePrice":"41.00","last":"2.39","change":"-0.06","changePct":"-2.449","lastRaw":2.39,"ask":"2.45","bid":"2.42","lastTime":40073.47708333333,"tick":-1,"openInterest":"4.6K","volume":"60320","expDate":40257,"coName":"QQQQ Mar0 41.0 P"}]');
document.writeln(foo.length);
</script>
yields the correct value.
I think you need to eval the string. Could 21339645 be the number of characters?
