Question

I have a JSON string called EmployeeList being passed back to my webpage. It is details being read in C# from an XML file. SO it contains details for two test employees.

it is below:

"[{"EmployeeId":"33","Name":"Test Name 1","Phone":"1234","Email":"[e-mail]"},{"EmployeeId":"31","Name":"Test Name 2","Phone":"1234","Email":"[e-mail]"}]"

I wanted to use the below then to turn this into a Javscript object so that I can extract and maniuplate fields.

        var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(EmployeeList);

        alert(obj);

However my output from the alert is [object Object],[object Object]. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong here?

Answer 1

This is correct response as your List is an Array of Objects.

To get name of employees you can get them like this:

alert(EmployeeList[0].Name);
alert(EmployeeList[1].Name);
