Question

i have this json response:

[{
    "i": 39,
    "id": "15399"
},
{
    "i": 38,
    "id": "15386"
},
{
    "i": 37,
    "id": "15329"
}]

now i need to put these elements in a html list. how can i use $.each to do that?

(something like:

39: 15399
38: 15386

etc…)

(btw. i have no access to the file that generates the json code)

Answer 1

Just iterate over your array, for example:

var list = $("#myList");
$.each(data, function(i, obj) {
  $("<li />", { text: obj.i + ": " + obj.id }).appendTo(list);
});

In a $.each() callback, you get the index and the object as parameters, in this case you just want to use the i and id properties off that. The alternative is just a ordinary for loop, like this:

var list = $("#myList");
for(var i=0, l=data.length; i<l; i++) {
  var obj = data[i];
  $("<li />", { text: obj.i + ": " + obj.id }).appendTo(list);
});
