Question

I am trying setting up the Fullcalendar JQuery plugin with a JSON feed. It is not working, so I tried with the provided example with the plugin, and it works with that, so it is clearly a problem with my feed.

Here is the output of the example JSON feed (which works):

And here, the output of my JSON feed, which is not working:

http://pastebin.com/UyN4c6yc

Can anyone see anything wrong with the syntax?

The output worked when I printed it inside the .js config with PHP (well, I only changed one things after it wouldnt work: i put quotes on the property names), so I think the data is good…

EDIT: fixed second link

Run your invalid JSON through a validator like JSONLint. It might be quicker than asking people to hand-validate your output.

Updated:

It is easier to work with small sets of data at first than large. You have a couple of problems with your JSON:

• Use double quotes, not single quotes
• Use a date rather than new Date(‘xx-xx-xxxx’)

Here is a sample of valid JSON using your data:

[
    {
        "title": "1",
        "start": "2011-01-01",
        "className": "ottype1"
    },
    {
        "title": "2",
        "start": "2011-01-02",
        "className": "ottype1"
    }
]

If you are creating your JSON by hand (which appears to be the case”), find a library to create your JSON for you.
