Question

I am having trouble getting the contents of JSON object from a JQery ajax call  My call       Search   click function          var query       query   valueOf          ajax           url    Products Search           type   POST           data  query          dataType   application json  charset utf-8           success  function  data                alert data               for  var x   0  x  lt  data length  x                      content   data x  Id                  content      lt br gt                    content    data x  Name                  content      lt br gt                      content  appendTo   ProductList                      updateListing data x                                          It seems that the JSON object is being returned correctly because  alert data   displays the following      Id    1    Name    Shirt      Id    2    Name   Pants      but when I try displaying the Id or Name to the page using   content   data x  Id  content      lt br gt    content    data x  Name  content      lt br gt      it returns  undefined  to the page  What am I doing wrong   Thanks for the help

Well    you are about 3 4 of the way there    you already have your JSON as text   The problem is that you appear to be handling this string as if it was already a JavaScript object with properties relating to the fields that were transmitted   It isn t    its just a string    Queries like  content   data x  Id   are bound to fail because JavaScript is not finding these properties attached to the string that it is looking at    again  its JUST a string   You should be able to simply parse the data as JSON through    yup    the parse method of the JSON object   myResult   JSON parse request responseText     Now myResult is a javascript object containing the properties that were transmitted through AJAX   That should allow you to handle it the way you appear to be trying to   Looks like JSON parse was added when ECMA5 was added  so anything fairly modern should be able to handle this natively    if you have to handle fossils  you could also try external libraries to handle this  such as jQuery or JSON2   For the record  this was already answered by Andy E for someone else HERE   edit - Saw the request for  official or credible sources   and probably one of the coders that I find the most credible would be John Resig   ECMA5 JSON   i would have linked to the actual ECMA5 spec regarding native JSON support  but I would rather refer someone to a master like Resig than a dry specification

The data is coming back as the string representation of the JSON and you aren t converting it back to a JavaScript object  Set the dataType to just  json  to have it converted automatically

I recommend you use   var returnedData   JSON parse response     to convert the JSON string  if it is just text  to a JavaScript object

I m not sure whats going wrong with your set up  Maybe the server is not setting the headers properly  Not sure  As a long shot  you can try this    ajax       url   url      dataType    json      done function data  statusText  resObject       var jsonData   resObject responseJSON

One of the way you can ensure that this type of mistake  using string instead of json  doesn t happen is to see what gets printed in the alert  When you do  alert data    if data is a string  it will print everything that is contains  However if you print is json object  you will get the following response in the alert   object Object    If this the response then you can be sure that you can use this as an object  json in this case     Thus  you need to convert your string into json first  before using it by doing this   JSON parse data

It works fine  Ex       ajax       url   http   localhost 11141 Search BasicSearchContent ContentTitle                  type   GET       cache  false      success  function result                alert jQuery dataType           if  result                    var dd   JSON parse result               alert result 0  Id                        error  function             alert  No                Finally  you need to use this statement      result 0  Whatever

From the jQuery API  with the setting of dataType  If none is specified  jQuery will try to infer it with   parseJSON   based on the MIME type  the MIME type for JSON text is  application json   of the response  in 1 4 JSON will yield a JavaScript object    Or you can set the dataType to json to convert it automatically
