Answer 1

Use the javascript: JSON.parse(yourjavascriptobjecttoparse);

Then var productx = yourjavascriptobjecttoparse['main']['ProductsData']['Product'] to reference the product.

Answer 2

Use the parseJSON method in jQuery.

Example:

var obj = $.parseJSON(yourJsonString);
alert(obj.main.ProductsData.Product.Cost);

Answer 3

Read JSON from file:

myobject = $.parseJSON("myfile.json")

Or read JSON from string:

myobject = $.parseJSON(jsonString)

Now get the data you want:

//Loops  into every Product in ProductsData:
$(myobject.main.ProductsData.Product).each(function(index, element){
    //Do something with Product variable such as below
    alert(element.BrandName + ' ' + element.SupplierName);
}

Be sure to check your JSON data with http://jsonlint.com/

Answer 4

There's an interesting JSON plugin for jQuery called jquery-json.

It allows you to both serialize and deserialize JSON. It works like this:

var myObject = { property1: "value1", property2: "value2" };

// Converts myObject to JSON
var serialized = $.toJSON(myObject);

// Parses generated JSON into a new object
var deserialized = $.evalJSON(serialized);

Answer 5

Just use JSON.parse function (MDN docu link)

yourObj = JSON.parse( jsonstring );

Afterwards you can access any property of the JSON string via your object, so, e.g.,

yourObj['main']['ProductsData']['ProductName']

will return

"2-in-1 Measuring Jug"

in your given example.

Answer 6

You can use

var object = $.parseJSON(jsonString);

Now you can access this object like a native JavaScript Object:

object.main.ProductsData.Product.BrandName     // Joseph Joseph
