In the code below, I tried iterating over the JSON object string. However, I do not get the desired output. My output on the webpage looks something like:-

+item.temperature++item.temperature++item.temperature++item.temperature+

The alert that outputs the temperature works well. The part where I try accessing the value by iterating through the JSON object string doesn’t seem to work. Could some one help me out with fixing this?

Code

<body>
    <script>
    $.getJSON('http://ws.geonames.org/weatherJSON?north=90&south=-9.9&east=-22.4&west=55.2',
      function(data) {
        $.each(data.weatherObservations, function(i, item) {
          $("body").append("+item.temperature+");
          if (-i == 3-) return false;
        });
        alert(data.weatherObservations[0].temperature);
      });
    </script>
</body>

    Don’t use quotes within $("body").append("+item.temperature+"); in the .append() part.

    should be

    $(document.body).append(item.temperature);

    Writting that expression with quotes like you did, just adds a string over and over. Java//Ecmascript interpretates anything withing quotes as a string literal.

    Notice that I also replaced "body" with document.body. That has mostly performance // access reasons, so better karma.
