Question

I am new on JQuery. I have this JSON response from the server how could I parse it?

[
    {
        "note": {
            "created_at": "2012-04-28T09:41:37Z",
            "updated_at": "2012-04-28T09:41:37Z",
            "text": "aaaaaaaaaaafdafasd fasfasd dfa sdfasf asdfa fasdfda",
            "lng": 44.5159794497071,
            "id": 7,
            "deleted": false,
            "user_id": 1,
            "note_type": "text",
            "lat": 40.1884140543842
        }
    },
    [ ... more JSON ...]
]

How could I parse this?

You have to set the data type of the request to “json”, and the data will be already parsed in your success callback.

Everything you need to know at the moment is on http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Here is a very simple example of what you can do:

$.ajax({
    url: url, // the service URL. Must answer proper JSON
    data: {  // the parameters of the request. This should be adapted to your case
        param1: value1,
        param2: value2
    },
    dataType: "json",
    type: "POST",
    success: function(resultData) {
        // here, resultData is your parsed json
    },
    error: function() {
        // handle error here
    }
});
