Question

I’m new to Jquery and I have this json file look like this.

 var json2 = {
        "data": [
                     {

                                 ]
                             },



                 ],

                         "type": "/soccer/football_team"
                     }
                 ]

    };

How can I extract out the information. I wan only the topic name(e.g Men in black) and the person name (e.g “Sandi Tan”) and append into a table which looks like this:

**Men in Black, Iron man  Harry Potter**
Sandi Tan     Edmund Tan   Gibson Tay
Celia Tio                  James tan

Answer 1

json2.data[0].topic //to get Men in black
json2.data[0].audience[0].Name // to get Sandi Tan

To get all names and topics you can do it like this with a loop

for(key in json2.data){
console.log(json2.data[key].topic);
console.log(json2.data[key].audience[0].Name)
}

To append to table

$('<td> Audience : '+json2.data[0].audience[0].Name+'</td><td>Topic : '+json2.data[0].topic+'</td>').appendTo(tableid);

Dynamically add to table

var td ="";
for(key in json2.data){
td += "<tr><td>"+json2.data[key].topic+"</td><td>"+json2.data[key].audience[0].Name+"</td></tr>";
}
$(td).appendTo('body');
