I'm having problems handling JSON-data as an array in JavaScript. my JSON array looks like this :
MyArray([['one','two','three'],['four','five','six']]);
In JS I am trying to receive it using this method :
$.getJSON('http://test.com/array.json', function(data) {
alert(data);
}
but i get no data. If i'm using
$get('http://test.com/array.json', function(data)
instead of $getJSON then i receive my data as a string.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your data is not JSON, but JSONP, where MyArray is the JSONP callback function.
In theory the web service you're talking to should support a callback= parameter which would be what sets the MyArray name.
If you just add &callback=? then jQuery should automatically generate a randomly named callback function which will then call your success function with the required data.
This is no JSON :
MyArray([['one','two','three'],['four','five','six']]);
A JSON string isn't simply some javascript you want to evaluate but must start by [ or {.
Look at the norm : http://www.json.org/
As you seem to have a constructor at first, this is probably not even JSONP.
I'd recommend you to make a standard JSON array :
"[['one','two','three'],['four','five','six']]"
And then use a constructor client side if you need a MyArray instance.
Your JSON isn't valid. The format it's in can still be used. Use the get method and then try the following:
$.get('http://test.com/array.json', function(data) {
data = data.replace("MyArray(", '"');
data = data.replace(");", '"');
var myData = JSON.parse(data); // Converted JSON to object.
}
