How to access JSON Object name/value?

In stead of parsing JSON you can do like followng:

$.ajax({
  ..
  dataType: 'json' // using json, jquery will make parse for  you
});

To access a property of your JSON do following:

data[0].name;

data[0].address;

Why you need data[0] because data is an array, so to its content retrieve you need data[0] (first element), which gives you an object {"name":"myName" ,"address": "myAddress" }.

And to access property of an object rule is:

Object.property

or sometimes

Object["property"] // in some case

So you need

data[0].name and so on to get what you want.


If you not

set dataType: json then you need to parse them using $.parseJSON() and to retrieve data like above.
