Question

I’m using themoviedb.org API to fetch the movie info. This is the code I’m using:

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("GET", "http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.search/en/json/XXX/immortals?callback=foobar", true);
req.send();
req.onreadystatechange=function() {
   if (req.readyState==4 && req.status==200) {
      console.log(req.responseText); 
   }
}

And I’m getting this response in the console:

foobar([{"score":null,"popularity":3,"translated":true,"adult":false,"language":"ru","original_name":"Immortals","name":"Immortals","alternative_name":"\"War of the Gods\"","movie_type":"movie","i".......}])

How do I parse this response to get the name attribute?

Updates:

Thank you everybody but the actual answer was given by hippietrail.

eval(req.responseText)

More details: Filtering to specific nodes in JSON – use grep or map?

Answer 1

add this function to your page :

( i see its an array – so i’ll iterate each item… – if you want the first one only – so please specify.)

  function foobar(x)
    {
        $.each(x, function ()
        {
           alert(this.score);
        });

    }
