Question

I am developing a web application and I use jQuery 1.5 and JavaScript for the main functionality of the app. I connect from my app to a RESTful interface where I GET information for a person.
I use this function to retrieve the information from the json page:

var jqxhr = $.getJSON("example.json", function() { // store the data in a table }

My data in json format are like but I will get as a result more than one persons having the format of:

[{"person":{"time":"2010-02-18T17:59:44","id":1,"name": "John","age":60, "updated_at":"010-02-18T17:59:44"}}]

How can I store only the id, the name and the age of the person in a JavaScript table (to be more precise an array) and ignore the rest of the information?

Answer 1

    $.getJSON("example.json", function(data) { 
var name = data.person.name;
var id = data.person.id;
var age = data.person.age;
}

what do exactly mean by a javascript table
u can store in a html table by

var $table = $("<table>
<tr><td>name</td><td>"+name+"</td></tr>
<tr><td>id</td><td>"+id+"</td></tr>
<tr><td>age</td><td>"+age+"</td></tr>
</table>");
