  Parsing JSON Problem

  Dec 21, 2012 05:17 PM|LINK

  Hi!

  I'm going to just admit that this is my first experience trying to parse JSON within jQuery, so with that in mind....

  Here's an example of my JSON string that my WebMethod is returning:

  {"PageTitle":"Christ Community Chapel :: Our DNA","EditableRegions":[["erpagecontent","Test"]]}

  Or more properly formatted:

  {
      "PageTitle": "Christ Community Chapel :: Our DNA",
      "EditableRegions": [
          [
              "erpagecontent",
              "Test"
          ]
      ]
  }

  I verified its validity using JSONLint.com, but I'm having trouble accessing the erpagecontent value.

  I thought it would be as simple as:

  var jsonData = $.parseJSON(myjsonstr);
  
  $("#myDiv").append(jsonData.EditableRegions.erpagecontent);

  But I keep getting a JavaScript error that EditableRegions is null.

  Could someone please give me some guidance?

  Thanks!

  -Eric

  I tried this on my side and I'm getting undefined for EditableRegions.erpagecontent, not EditableRegions.  It might have something to do with the [[ ]].  That suggests a 2D array, but I'm not sure what you are going for with that data.  Is "EditableRegions" supposed to be an array of strings?  If so, only use a single bracket and iterate through the array to access them.

  jsonData.EditableRegions is an array or arrays, so you want something like:

     jsonData.EditableRegions[0][0]  //erpagecontent 
     jsonData.EditableRegions[0][1]  //Test 

  <div></div>

  Hi,

  You can access the json like below-

  jsonData.EditableRegions[0][0] - erpagecontent
  
  jsonData.EditableRegions[0][1] - Test

  Thanks & Regards

  Thanks, Bruce & Asteranup. That cleared it up. I should have thought of that.
