[jquery] Using jQuery to build table rows from AJAX response(json)

Data as JSON:

data = [
       {
       "rank":"9",
       "content":"Alon",
       "UID":"5"
       },
       {
       "rank":"6",
       "content":"Tala",
       "UID":"6"
       }
       ]

You can use jQuery to iterate over JSON and create tables dynamically:

num_rows = data.length;
num_cols = size_of_array(data[0]);

table_id = 'my_table';
table = $("<table id=" + table_id + "></table>");

header = $("<tr class='table_header'></tr>");
$.each(Object.keys(data[0]), function(ind_header, val_header) {
col = $("<td>" + val_header + "</td>");
header.append(col);
})
table.append(header);

$.each(data, function(ind_row, val) {
row = $("<tr></tr>");
$.each(val, function(ind_cell, val_cell) {
col = $("<td>" + val_cell + "</td>");
row.append(col);
})
table.append(row);
})

Here is the size_of_array function:

function size_of_array(obj) {
    size = Object.keys(obj).length;
    return(size)
    };

You can also add styling if needed:

$('.' + content['this_class']).children('canvas').remove();
$('.' + content['this_class']).append(table);
$('#' + table_id).css('width', '100%').css('border', '1px solid black').css('text-align', 'center').css('border-collapse', 'collapse');
$('#' + table_id + ' td').css('border', '1px solid black');
