Question

Newbie Question:

I successfully get a json collection of books from the server:

        $.getJSON("/Data/json.txt", function (data) {
            //Book array?
        });

Given the JSON looks like this:

{
   "Books":[
      {
         "ID":"42",
         "Name": "AJAX"
       },
      {
         "ID":"41",
         "Name": "Sand"
       }
    ]
 }

How do I get a populated “Book” collection ? (I’m coming from a C# background)

You will already have the books array inside data. Like this:

 $.getJSON("/Data/json.txt", function (data) {
        for (var i = 0; i < data.Books.length; i++) {
            var id = data.Books[i].ID;
            var name = data.Books[i].Name;
        }
    });
