Question

I have this array which is retrieved by a json_encode().When I execute

$.getJSON('beta.php' , function(data){
    console.log(data);
});

I get the result as follows

[
Object { StuId="1", fName="Saman", more...},
Object { StuId="2", fName="Marry", more...},
Object { StuId="3", fName="Navjoth", more...},
Object { StuId="4", fName="Jassu", more...}
]

I’m trying to iterate through this result using

$.each(data, function(key, value){

            for(var key in value){

                if(value.hasOwnProperty(key)){                  

                        $("#article tbody").html(                       
                        "<tr><td>" + value.StuId + 
                        "</td><td>" + value.fName + 
                        "</td><td>" + value.lName +
                        "</td><td>" + value.age +
                        "</td><td>" + value.grade + 
                        "</td></tr>");

                        $("article tbody").appendTo("document.body");               

                }

                }

        });

.I guess It is impossible because of the above format of the array.

If someone could explain why this is happening and how to correct it I would be really grateful.I want to know how to convert the above into the following format.

[
{"StuId":"1","fName":"Saman","lName":"Kumara","age":"14","grade":"A"},
{"StuId":"2","fName":"Marry","lName":"Vass","age":"12","grade":"B"},
{"StuId":"3","fName":"Navjoth","lName":"Bogal","age":"32","grade":"A"},
{"StuId":"4","fName":"Jassu","lName":"Singh","age":"22","grade":"E"}
]

You are overwriting the tables html with different values each time.

$(document).ready(function() {
  var html = "";
  var data = [
          { StuId:"1", fName:"Saman"},
          { StuId:"2", fName:"Marry"},
          { StuId:"3", fName:"Navjoth"},
          { StuId:"4", fName:"Jassu"}
          ]
  $.each(data, function(key, value){
    console.log(value + "--" + key);
    html += "<div><span>" + value.StuId + "</span><span>" + value.fName + "</span></div>";
  });
  $('body').html(html)
});

Loops in JavaScript are different from other languages. You need closures.
