I'm trying to parse a JSON file located on my computer. I want to parse it. The JSON file has this structure:
{
"sites": {
"site": [
{
"id": "01",
"name": "Sito 1",
"src": "localhost/root/coupon/sito1",
"expiryDate": "29 Ago 2013"
},
{
"id": "02",
"name": "Sito 2",
"src": "localhost/root/coupon/sito2",
"expiryDate": "30 Ago 2013"
},
{
"id": "Sito 3",
"name": "Sito 3",
"src": "localhost/root/coupon/sito2",
"expiryDate": "31 Ago 2013"
}
]
}
}
In my html I import the jQuery library and I made a function that will load when the page is loaded. The code is below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="it">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;"/>
<title>Lista coupon</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function loadJson() {
window.alert("Carico il contenuto del file JSON per popolare la lista");
$(document).ready(function()
{
$.getJSON('data.json', function(json) {
console.log(json);
});
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="loadJson();">
<div id="header">
<h1>Lista coupon salvati</h1>
</div>
<div id="content">
<p>Di seguito trovi tutte le promozioni salvate</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Now I saw on firebug console that it can read correctly the JSON file, but I don't know how to parse this JSON. I searched in google, but I found a lot of example that use a remote JSON. Can you help me to understand how to parse a local JSON file? Thank you
PS: note the site I post on here it's made for mobile browser.
I don't think you need to parse the json. It will automatically parse the json since you are using $.getJSON().
getJSON
will parse it for you.Just remove the
var obj = $.parseJSON(json);
line (since that will stringify the object and try to parse it as JSON (which it won't be)).
