Question

I tried sample javascript code to call Google bigQuery API ( https://developers.google.com/bigquery/docs/authorization#client-side-javascript )

Js:

function runQuery() {
   var request = gapi.client.bigquery.jobs.query({
      'projectId': project_id,
      'timeoutMs': '30000',
      'query': 'SELECT TOP(repository_language, 5) as language, COUNT(*) as count FROM [publicdata:samples.github_timeline] WHERE repository_language != "";'
    });
    request.execute(function(response) {     
        console.log(response);
        var results = response.result.rows ;
        $('#result_box').html(JSON.stringify(results, null));
    });
}

Above big query returns :

[{"f":[{"v":"JavaScript"},{"v":"949899"}]},{"f":[{"v":"Ruby"},{"v":"640659"}]},{"f":[{"v":"Java"},{"v":"568202"}]},{"f":[{"v":"Python"},{"v":"484852"}]},{"f":[{"v":"PHP"},{"v":"453830"}]}]

Please help me how to parse the values from above results in JSON Format ?

{"JavaScript": "949899", "Ruby": "640659", "Java": "568202", "Python": "484852", "PHP": "453830" }

Answer 1

Eval is a security risk.

var text = '[{"f":[{"v":"JavaScript"},{"v":"949899"}]},{"f":[{"v":"Ruby"},{"v":"640659"}]},{"f":[{"v":"Java"},{"v":"568202"}]},{"f":[{"v":"Python"},{"v":"484852"}]},{"f":[{"v":"PHP"},{"v":"453830"}]}]';
myData = JSON.parse(text);
alert(myData[4].f[0].v);​
