Hmmm.. I have this json values:
var form = {
lat: event.row['lat'].value,
lon: event.row['lon'].value,
}
Android.openForm( $.toJSON(form) );
How do I get the value from lat and long?
openForm: function( json ){
alert(json[lat]);
//$('#lat').val(json.lat);
}
If the results of form is to be this
var form = {
lat: "somevalue",
lon: "somevalue"
};
You would access the data in the variable form by the dot properties.
form.lat and form.lon
Simple Fiddler
Why don't you have the openForm receive the object directly instead of its json serialization?
openForm(form){
var json = $.toJSON(form);
alert(form.lat);
}
$.toJSON(form) converts your object to a string, I think you want to pass the object so just drop it:
Android.openForm(form);
Didn't realize that my team mate was using a plugin...
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-json/
I should have asked him first.. #_#
Sorry neh
var thing = {plugin: 'jquery-json', version: 2.3};
var encoded = $.toJSON( thing );
// '{"plugin":"jquery-json","version":2.3}'
var name = $.evalJSON( encoded ).plugin;
// "jquery-json"
var version = $.evalJSON(encoded).version;
// 2.3
Try this
openForm: function( json ){
var lat = json.lat;//or json["lat"]
var lon = json.lon;//or json["lon"]
}
By the way variable form is already a well formed json you don't have to convert it to json in order to use it.
If $.toJSON is a method like JSON.stringify, then you've serialized the data into JSON text, so it's values are no longer available via properties.
You'd need to parse it first.
openForm: function( json ){
// UPDATED to use the JSON plugin you've loaded
var parsed = $.evalJSON( json );
alert( parsed[lat] );
}
I assume that the original form variable is not accessible from where you're trying to retrieve the value, otherwise you probably wouldn't serialize it in the first place.
If the original form data is in the same execution environment, and could be accessed directly from your function, you should do that instead of serializing.
What is JSON, and why do we use it?
For those who don't understand what JSON is meant for, it is a text based serialization format used to transfer data between environments where data can not naturally be shared.
The serialization is simply a standardized format that gets "stringified" from the native data structures of one environment, and then parsed into the native data structures of a different environment.
I assume toJSON is the "stringify" function, and the openForm is the separate environment into which the JSON data has been transferred.
If these assumptions are correct, the JSON needs to be parsed into the new environment before its values can be easily accessed.

I am framing a JSON object in Script tag in HTML screen -
var passingElements =
{"options":{"axisY":{"title":"Cups","titleFontSize":15,"labelFontColor":"#000000","labelFontSize":"10"},"axisX":{"labelFontColor":"#000000","labelFontSize":"10","gridColor":"orange"},"toolTip":{"enabled":false},
"data":[{"type":"column","indexLabel":"{x}","indexLabelFontColor":"#000000","dataPoints":[{y: 0.07, label:'3:09 A'},{y: 0.01, label:'1:58 A'},]}]}}
We have saved the JSON object to sessionStorage as sessionStorage.setItem("sessiondata", passingElements);
When we are trying to retrieve the stored data as
sessionStorage.getItem("sessiondata"); // Printing as "[object Object]"
Please let me know how can i view the data or use the data which is stored in session storages.
We are working on Titanium Appcelerator tool.
Thanks,

Your JSON
var passingElements = {"options":{"axisY":{"title":"Cups","titleFontSize":15,"labelFontColor":"#000000","labelFontSize":"10"},"axisX":{"labelFontColor":"#000000","labelFontSize":"10","gridColor":"orange"},"toolTip":{"enabled":false}, "data":[{"type":"column","indexLabel":"{x}","indexLabelFontColor":"#000000","dataPoints":[{y: 0.07, label:'3:09 A'},{y: 0.01, label:'1:58 A'},]}]}}
To store a JSON object in local storage you will need to convert it into a JSON-formatted string, using the JSON.stringify() function.
sessionStorage.setItem("sessiondata", JSON.stringify(passingElements));
Because the object was previously converted to a JSON-formatted string, you will have to reverse the effects of the stringify function before you can access the data within the object. This is easily done through use of the JSON.parse() function
var obj = sessionStorage.getItem("sessiondata");
obj = jQuery.parseJSON(obj);
console.log(obj)
Be aware that localStorage or sessionStorage use only strings.
Objects are not allowed!
But you can serialize any non circular object with JSON:
sessionStorage.setItem("sessiondata", JSON.stringify(passingElements));
var data = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem("sessiondata"));
Try to make a string of the passingElements object you have created.
sessionStorage.setItem('sessiondata', JSON.stringify(passingElements));
When you want to access the data you should parse it back from a string into a Javascript Object.
JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem('sessiondata'));
I have a list of lists (e.g. [[1,2],[3,4]]) passed from a Django view to a javascript variable and submitted with jQuery. I need to parse that variable to pull indices. The basic process is:
Add as context variable (python):
resultMsgList.append(msg)
resultMsgListJson=json.dumps(resultMsgList)
resultDict['resultMsgListJson']= resultMsgListJson
Javascript:
var resultMsgList = {{resultMsgListJson}};
var data = {'resultMsgList':resultMsgList};
$.post(URL, data, function(result){
});
Google Console gives me:
Javascript:
var resultMsgList = [["View \"S03_2005_LUZ_140814_105049_with_geom\" was successfully created!", "luz_mapfile_scen_tdm_140814_105049", "S03_2005_LUZ_140814_105049_with_geom", "C:/djangoProjects/web_output/mapfiles/ATLANTA/luz_mapfile_scen_tdm_140814_105049.map", [25, 50, 498.26708421479, 131137.057816715]]];
I copied this result to a validator, which states it is correct JSON.
The post gives me:
resultMsgList[0][]:View "S03_2005_LUZ_140814_105049_with_geom" was successfully created!
resultMsgList[0][]:luz_mapfile_scen_tdm_140814_105049
resultMsgList[0][]:S03_2005_LUZ_140814_105049_with_geom
resultMsgList[0][]:C:/djangoProjects/web_output/mapfiles/ATLANTA/luz_mapfile_scen_tdm_140814_105049.map
resultMsgList[0][4][]:25
resultMsgList[0][4][]:50
resultMsgList[0][4][]:498.26708421479
resultMsgList[0][4][]:131137.057816715
I need to get elements from this list. I currently have (python):
resultMsgListContext = request.POST.get('resultMsgListJson','')
resultMsgListContext = json.loads(resultMsgListContext)
oldMapfileName=resultMsgListContext[0][2] (+ a number of similar statements)
According to this post I then need to decode the variable in python with json.loads(), but it says there is no JSON object to be decoded. Based on the examples in the Python docs, I'm not sure why this doesn't work.
I believe the problem is that it is viewing the entire resultMsgList as a string, substantiated by the fact that there is a u' xxxxx ' in the result. That's why it is saying index out of range because you're trying to access a 2D array when it is still a string. You have to convert it to an array of strings by using json.loads.
In javascript, try passing
var data = {'resultMsgListJson':resultMsgList};
instead of
var data = {'resultMsgListJson': resultMsgListJson};
resultMsgListJson isn't a javascript variable that's defined at that point, it might be getting evaluated to undefined.
In general, in python, print the contents of resultMsgListContext before trying to do json.loads on it so you can see exactly what you're trying to parse.
I have an existing "blackbox" web service. I need to append a session ID to the end of that output so that Javascript and similar clients can resume the stateful session.
Given the output below, what is the correct syntax to append or prepend an arbitrary GUID, so that it can be properly deserialized as valid JSON?
Note This data below is perfect. If I can somehow add a "removable" bit of information, using JSON.NET the string GUID, that would be ideal.

The output above comes from Chrome. I'm not sure if Chrome adds additional quotes, etc but when I debug System.String on the server, I see the same thing being sent to the WCF service.
The end-usage for this will be a Chrome and Firefox plug in
Well if I am correctly understanding:
You get JSON from a blackbox service. It contains some properties and values. You want to add a new property with some GUID and send it to browser.
If this is correct, try following:
var json=<WHAT YOU GET FROM SERVICE>;
var converter = new ExpandoObjectConverter();
dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ExpandoObject>(json, converter);
obj.sid="this is the new session id"; //ADD NEW PROPERTY
var j=JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj); //GET BACK JSON STRING WITH NEW PROPERTY
Of if you just want to add session id on client side (inside your plugin) the utilize JSON2 javascript library and use following code (as also suggested by Josh in comments):
var o = JSON.parse(<REST OUTPUT>);
o.sid = <YOUR SESSION ID>;
To convert back to JSON string.
var jsn = JSON.stringify(o);
There is no way to modify that particular response without breaking existing clients. If you can break existing clients, or if you are working with clients that you control, you could wrap the object in another object, setting two keys: GUID and data. For example:
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new {
data = foo,
GUID = bar,
});
Where bar is the GUID that you want to use, and foo is one of two things:
The JSON string from the response. This will result in the final object looking like so:
{
data: "{\"sa\":[\"BHDQ9TLPeaeVuSSgXv9bsOIVFUWbOpivMKhGki7YPLzIXEyHuxRAZhDgts2sEcBQpLBuKJZCtcmSlzWZ9iK0AAA=\",\"BAhyo7T0Wq1WBLXnyN4vo1L94rWLhCCv4DqROi+p9XHO6UeS0Gw6xh1JAKOtXBU2fA432LkNqng8cUt1eAX0bqs=\",\"BGFmyTreWY5pICAcf3itoqbfhs5brOmIDLNF3V7p7slPYdCSVhwWUT5mHD6Lb5kNi\/Qy9tracNUtVgvo3f51FrI=\",\"BMV7RIwoz+LdFgD2fq7UZ7E88KFq\/03381NDYFIKYgUKxEzuXoj6hZfSB0slX5fdaL44Lf6i\/UjDzPQt2XUG8NE=\",\"BL8BnU5WvFn7vIlKi14dWsqykNf1\/nmE55YXFGwLx9Qu3VvDblULt\/U8CXPI1vD8+wMXCRnkunXqxlsFqgghf8w=\"],\"sb\":[\"BInTtgTAn\/zkmrkporhV5DvPZRq5YWm8e\/m02oq55UfY3RxIhOplJgwLjgKMHKYDthYEBcqNNNuVbbWnbtKVAqA=\",\"BJbh5y95wHGjmAPDFNqgewnBxtqVke0sloDD2S3IdrWZ95JfP77rtXZ4lTG8g9PuTLJbl4exZUnM16260WxJ9wU=\",\"BKevE9i2J8CicXHX3elCoQPEpTOmJyGOlBskIbFMFGQFhJ5TD7N1221rhhH9HY6DsfRojmefozsQYzo7Pokp+Hg=\",\"BJbVTRyh8WwCxfR7jRXnran4td7k5+vEfM+HWxeAibneSjdMRQ1Fg6QxKLu+Zu1aPdXqD8M29kABOTAiYopVuQE=\",\"BFv3alDqjo7ckdB2vuxJ15Gur1xsgATjLe9drt\/XU9AkbN+AELCv+mF1Xy8+83L2A1p8aGxF4b7dsrMed27u1j4=\"],\"sz\":\"BF1IiqMz0KmT4gZN6euJquWFt2UmVjyOEdaX0jH8uQMAPG8DBoyneT2PJ9NQTE2xBOP9TtAb1d2O+iCojFqzkvI=\"}",
guid: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}
And you would get at the data through two calls to JSON.parse (or the equivalent).
The deserialized object from the JSON response. This will result in the final object looking like so (most data removed for brevity sake):
{
data: {
sa: [],
sb: [],
sz: ""
},
guid: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}
And you would access data through response.data.
Why any modification can break existing clients
Where the current response is an object, there are only a few ways to modify it:
Injecting a key into the object. This assumes that no client uses Object.keys() or in any way iterates the key set (e.g. for (k in obj)). While this may be true, this is an assumption.
Adding another object to the end: }, {. Doing so would require that the response be transformed into an array:
[{}, {}]
This would break any client that is assumes the response is an object.
Wrapping the current response in a surrounding object (as proposed above). This as well breaks any clients that assumes a certain structure for the response.
{data:{}, guid: ""}
Not very familiar with JSON data and how to create it using JavaScript.this is what i am trying
i have created two JS variables
var json={};
var json1={};
i have some certain loops to iterate data and loops like
for(firstLoop){
key=outerKey;
for(innerLook){
innerKey=innerkey;
for(lastloop){
jsonValues= create values in a java variable
}
json[innerKey]=jsonValues;
}
json1[outerKey]=JSON.stringify(json);
}
Doing this i am getting following output
Required: "{"Center":"radio_Required_Center_0,radio_Required_Center_1,","Left":"radio_Required_Left_0,"}"
which is not a valid JSON format.My idea id to create a outer-key say Required and than an inner one's in my case Center and Left
so that i can iterate each value with respect to key Center (i can break the string based on ')
i am not sure how to create correct structure and i don't want to do it on server side which can be done easily.
any solution or hint will really be helpful.
Edit
var data= JSON.stringify(json1);
giving following output
{"Required":"{\"Center\":\"radio_Required_Center_0,radio_Required_Center_1,\",\"Left\":\"radio_Required_Left_0,\"}"}
which is valid JSON data, now i need to execute some code based on the data in the JSON and here are my requirements
Fetch the outer-key (Required or there can be other also).
Fetch all values under the key Center and Left
Create array from the value retrieved from step 2 (split based on ",").
Loop through the values obtained from step 3 and execute the logic.
My real challenge is at step number 2 and 3 where i need to fetch the keys and its associated values and those key and not predefined so i can not access them based on there name.
I am thinking of a way to get key and its values without hard coding key names and execute my logic.
is it possible in by this approach or not?
If you're using a modern version of Javascript, it comes with JSON functions built-in.
var jsonString = JSON.stringify(jsobject);
...to convert a JS object into a JSON string.
(See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify)
and
var jsOject = JSON.parse(jsomString);
...to convert back in the other direction.
(see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/parse)
The only time you need to worry about this not being built-in is if you're using an old browser - for example, older versions of IE. However, in this case, there are polyfill libraries like this one that you can load which will implement the above syntax for you.
If you're just trying to compose one big JSON object, you don't need to stringify one JSON object before adding it to another... So instead of doing JSON.stringify(json) you can just do json1[outerKey]=json
for(firstLoop){
key=outerKey;
for(innerLook){
innerKey=innerkey;
for(lastloop){
jsonValues= create values in a java variable
}
json[innerKey]=jsonValues;
}
json1[outerKey]=json;
}
try jsonlint.com to validate your JSON
This is valid:
{
"Center": "radio_Required_Center_0,radio_Required_Center_1,",
"Left": "radio_Required_Left_0,"
}
This is valid too:
{
"Required": {
"Center": "radio_Required_Center_0,radio_Required_Center_1,",
"Left": "radio_Required_Left_0,"
}
}
This isn't:
Required: {
"Center": "radio_Required_Center_0,radio_Required_Center_1,",
"Left": "radio_Required_Left_0,"
}
using JSON.stringify() is the right way of converting javascript objects to JSON string format. However if you want to put it in a variable you should do that first, later in the last step you convert to JSON string.
var output = { "Required": yourpreviousjsonvar },
jsonString = JSON.strinify(output);
EDIT:
You need to process the data first you probably won't even need the JSON string if I understand you right. (=> if however you already got a string you need it parsed first. Do it using JSON.parse(yourjsonstring))
Fetch the outer-key (Required or there can be other also).
Fetch all values under the key Center and Left
Create array from the value retrieved from step 2 (split based on ",").
Loop through the values obtained from step 3 and execute the logic.
having this as variable:
var a = {
"Required": {
"Center": "radio_Required_Center_0,radio_Required_Center_1,",
"Left": "radio_Required_Left_0,"
}
}
// step 1
console.log(a.Required);
// step 2
console.log(a.Required.Center);
console.log(a.Required.Left);
// step 3
var center = a.Required.Center.split(',');
var left = a.Required.Left.split(',');
// step 4
for(var i = 0; i<center.length; i++){
console.log("doing somthing with", center[i]);
}
Here is a fiddle => use Chrome/safari/Opera's developpertools and check the console to check the output. Or use firebug (in firefox) Or IE9 or greater (F12).
Use native Javascript toSource :
var obj= new Object();
var obj1= new Object();
for(firstLoop){
key=outerKey;
for(innerLook){
innerKey=innerkey;
for(lastloop){
jsonValues= create values in a java variable
}
obj.innerKey=jsonValues;
}
obj1.outerKey=obj;
}
json = obj.toSource();
json1 = obj1.toSource();
I'm new to jQuery and just playing for fun. I have some code that I want to try to modify for my needs but the current js file is getting its data from google spreadsheets and then returning each item as objects. I don't use json to pass data from my server to jQuery so I'm wondering how I can convert json to objects.
The current way its doing it is(tabletop is the name of their js program that gets data from google docs):
Tabletop.init({
key: timelineConfig.key,
callback: setupTimeline,
wanted: [timelineConfig.sheetName],
postProcess: function(el){
//alert(el['photourl']);
el['timestamp'] = Date.parse(el['date']);
el['display_date'] = el['displaydate'];
el['read_more_url'] = el['readmoreurl'];
el['photo_url'] = el['photourl'];
}
});
I have added alerts all over the file and I think this is the area that gets the data and passes it on. I was thinking of trying to replace items in their object with objects from my json and see if it changes anything, but I'm unsure. Typrically I pass individual items via json,hashmaps, and lists, not sure how it works with objects or how to access objects(I simply call url's that I create for the requests, $("#user-history").load("/cooltimeline/{{ user.id }}");). But where do I start if I want to turn json data into objects?
If it helps, here's the demo of what I'm trying to do(but by having it use json data).
p.s. I'm really looking for the logic of how to complete what I'm trying to do and perhaps some ideas I'm missing so I can google them and learn.
Use use function JSON.parse(json) :) Or jQuery.parseJSON(json)
var json = '{"a":2}';
var object = JSON.parse(json);
alert(object.a);
You should see alert with message: 2
I don't realy know if I understand your comment, but maybe you want just do this:
postProcess: function(el){ //here el is JSON string
el = JSON.parse(el); // now el is an object
el.timestamp = Date.parse(el.date);
el.display_date = el.displaydate;
el.read_more_url = el.readmoreurl;
el.photo_url = el.photourl;
return el;
}
Btw. you do not need to use brackets on know property names without not standard names:
el['timestamp'] === el.timestamp
It will be easier if you paste your JSON
