Question

I’m currently using jquery and javascript to get json data, which I would like to add to a list.
The raw data received from it’s source looks like this;

null({"groups": "Blacksheep,Family,Voice,Technical,Band"})

with a bit of code my input comes out as

Blacksheep,Family,Voice,Technical,Band 

My code takes these values and puts them though a for loop, looping once for each entry. it then takes that entry’s name and puts it into a <li> field on my html document inside of a <ul> tag named people.

for (i=0 ; i < input.length ; i++){
    console.log(input);
    document.getElementById("people").innerHTML += "<li>" + input[i] + "</li>";
}

I tried to turn it into an array but adding a ‘[‘ on each side, but obviously it isn’t so easy. at the moment it takes the json entry and lists each letter instead of word.

is there a way to separate each word from json? or a way to interpret it as an array?

Answer 1

you can split the var

"Blacksheep,Family,Voice,Technical,Band".split(',');

this returning a string of array..
