Ajax HTTP request changes JSON with array in request body

The JSON response body of the HTTP request is being distorted on the server side. It has one key and its element is an array. This is my HTTP request using jQuery ajax:
function dbInsert(event_arr) {
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost:5000/insertdata",
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(event_arr),
success: function(events) {
console.log("TestInsert was successfully executed");
},
error: function(textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.error("The following error occurred: " + textStatus, errorThrown);
}
});
When I print JSON.stringify(event_arr) to console, this is what it looks like:
{"results": [{"event_client": "name1","event_date": "date1"}, {"event_client": "name2", "event_date": "date2"}]}
Then, on the server side, here are my various attempts at understanding the response body and playing around with the JSON format:
// returns [object, Object], cannot be passed into JSON.parse
console.log(request.body);
var temp = JSON.stringify(request.body);
var temp2 = JSON.parse(temp);
// prints {"{\"results\":":{"{\"event_name\":\"name1\",\"event_date\":\"date1\"},{\"event_name\":\"name2\",\"event_date\":\"date2\"}":""}}
console.log(temp);
// prints { '{"results":': { '{"event_name":"name1","event_date":"date1"},{"event_name":"name2","event_date":"date2"}': '' } }
console.log(temp2);
The JSON.stringify() that was called in my dbInsert() seems to mess up how the JSON is read, and I don't how to work around this internal formatting error!

You need to set: contentType: "application/json", in your $.ajax({}) function.
Something like this:
function dbInsert(event_arr) {
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost:5000/insertdata",
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(event_arr),
contentType: "application/json",
success: function(events) {
console.log("TestInsert was successfully executed");
},
error: function(textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.error("The following error occurred: " + textStatus, errorThrown);
}
});
}

How to parse response as json object for cross domain ajax call?

I'm making a cross domain ajax call. When I heat the link directly from my browser, I get the json strin as follows:
But when I'm making an ajax call to this same URL, I'm not getting the json in my response. My ajax request is as follows:
$.ajax({
url: "http://172.16.201.14:801/api/apiclearing?trackNo=" + $scope.BillClearingModel.BillTrackingNo + "&&tokenNo=~Ice321",
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
alert("Success");
},
error: function(response) {
console.log(response);
alert("Failed");
}
});
What Im getting in console is as follows:
Full Object is as follows:
What I'm missing here? Thanks.

Would you mind trying this:
var datastring = { "trackNo" : "160822000037" };//try this
//var datastring = "trackNo=160822000037"; //or this
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',//you may try the GET type
url: "https://172.16.201.14:801/api/apiclearing",
dataType: 'json',// try jsonp as well
data: datastring,
contentType: 'application/json',
crossDomain: true, //newly added
success: function(data, status, jqXHR) {
console.log(data);
console.log(status);
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));//to string
alert("Success");
},
error:function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("Status:"+ textStatus + " Error:" + errorThrown);
}
You may consider as well to add Access-Control-Allow-Origin to your server like Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://yourdomain-you-are-connecting-from.com in php

As you are using 'GET' method, retrieve them with $_GET[], ie:
echo $_GET['code']

Ajax Get Request with JQuery Error

I'm trying to call a php script with a get request and using the data theaddress however the results are showing me the source of the page im calling.
The page im calling is here
Here is my ajax function that will get this page
$( document ).ready(function() {
var address = document.getElementById("address");
$.ajax({
url: '/r10database/checkSystem/ManorWPG.php',
type: 'GET',
data: 'theaddress='+address.value,
cache: false,
success: function(output)
{
alert('success, server says '+output);
}, error: function()
{
alert('Something went wrong, saving system failed');
}
});
});

$( document ).ready(function() {
var address = document.getElementById("address");
$.ajax({
url: '/r10database/checkSystem/ManorWPG.php',
type: 'GET',
data: 'theaddress='+address.value,
cache: false,
success: function(output)
{
alert('success, server says '+output);
}, error: function(error)
{
alert (error); // this is the change from the question
}
});
});

Put the dataType as json with a curly brace
data: {theaddress:address.value},
dataType:'json',
success: function(output)
{
alert('success, server says '+output);
}, error: function(xhr)
{
alert (xhr.status);
}
and get the data in ManorWPG.php as $_GET['theaddress']
** share the xhr.status if failed.

Receive serialized in php data by using ajax

I have a php script, which return serialized in php data. And I try to receive this data by using $.ajax() method from jQuery 1.7. Here is the example.
$.ajax({
url: 'http://input.name/get.php?do=lookup' + '&domain=twittorama&tlds=.ru,.com,.net,.comf.ru',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'text',
cache: 'false',
complete: function(res) {
alert('COMPLETE() done');
console.log(res);
}
});
In console I see only
Object { readyState=0, status=0, statusText="error"}
So, what I do wrong? Could you help me please?
UPD
Interesting notice: if I use JSONP dataType request can receive data, but can't process it.
Here is an example.
$.ajax({
url: 'http://input.name/get.php?do=lookup',
data: 'domain=twittorama&tlds=.ru,.com,.net,.comf.ru',
dataType: 'jsonp',
cache: false,
success: function(data) {
alert("Data: "+data);
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("Error: "+textStatus);
console.log(jqXHR);
}
});

Instead of complete: use success: then res will be the returned data from your ajax request.
Remember to use error: as well incase there is an error with you call, as it seems that there might be in your console output.
Code:
$.ajax({
url: 'http://input.name/get.php?do=lookup',
data: 'domain=twittorama&tlds=.ru,.com,.net,.comf.ru',
cache: false,
success: function(data) {
alert("Data: "+data);
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("Error: "+textStatus);
console.log(jqXHR);
}
});

Your code is probably fine, but you're trying to violate the same origin policy. Basically, if your site is http://aaa.com/, you cannot make AJAX called to http://bbb.com/.
There are a few ways around it:
Getting around same origin policy in javascript without server side scripts
But most of them require that both sides play nice.

The response is the second parameter of complete function:
$.ajax({
url: 'http://input.name/get.php?do=lookup' + '&domain=twittorama&tlds=.ru,.com,.net,.comf.ru',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'text',
cache: 'false',
complete: function(res,response) {
alert('COMPLETE() done');
console.log(response);
}
});

You should also consider using JSON, not php serialized data
