Question

I am using JQuery’s getJSON() to request JSON from my web server. Then, I want to parse the response. The format of the JSON response is as follows:

{
    "responseStatus": "200",
    "responseData": {
        "resultText": "Hello"
    },
    "originalText": "hi"
}

And my JQuery code:

$.getJSON(url, function (json) {
     $.each(json, function (i, result) {
         alert(result.resultText);
     });
});

The problem I am facing is that I receive three alert windows in a row: “Undefined”, “Hello”, and “Undefined”. I am only looking to get and show the single value for resultText. Why am I also receiving the “Undefined”?

Thanks!

I think you can do:

$.getJSON(url,function(json){

   alert(json.responseData.resultText);       

});
