[jquery] How to print jquery object/array

I get id and category name from mysql database.

When I am alerting a result, I get:

[{"id":"197","category":"Damskie"},"id":"198","category":"M\u0119skie"}]

(Is this object?)

1. How can I print a result like this:

   Damskie

   M\u0119skie

2. M\u0119ski - has bad encoding. It should be Meskie. How can I change this?

Your result is currently in string format, you need to parse it as json.

var obj = $.parseJSON(result);
alert(obj[0].category);

Additionally, if you set the dataType of the ajax call you are making to json, you can skip the $.parseJSON() step.

What you have from the server is a string like below:

var data = '[{"id":"197","category":"Damskie"},{"id":"198","category":"M\u0119skie"}]';

Then you can use JSON.parse function to change it to an object. Then you access the category like below:

var dataObj = JSON.parse(data);

console.log(dataObj[0].category); //will return Damskie
console.log(dataObj[1].category); //will return Meskie

I was having similar problem and

var dataObj = JSON.parse(data);

console.log(dataObj[0].category); //will return Damskie
console.log(dataObj[1].category); //will return Meskie

This solved my problem. Thanks Selvakumar Arumugam

var arrofobject = [{"id":"197","category":"Damskie"},{"id":"198","category":"M\u0119skie"}];_x000D_
var data = arrofobject.map(arrofobject => arrofobject);_x000D_
console.log(data)

for more details please look at jQuery.map()
