Assuming your server side script doesn’t set the proper Content-Type: application/json
response header you will need to indicate to jQuery that this is JSON by using the dataType: 'json'
parameter.
Then you could use the $.each()
function to loop through the data:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'http://example/functions.php',
data: { get_param: 'value' },
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
$.each(data, function(index, element) {
$('body').append($('<div>', {
text: element.name
}));
});
}
});
or use the $.getJSON
method:
$.getJSON('/functions.php', { get_param: 'value' }, function(data) {
$.each(data, function(index, element) {
$('body').append($('<div>', {
text: element.name
}));
});
});
