具有JSON的自动完成的Jquery UI

Question

This example works great for what I need: Codepen Example

But I need to call city values from an external JSON.

How can I adapt this example to call an external JSON? Something linke this:

 $.getJSON( "http://gd.geobytes.com/AutoCompleteCity?callback=?&q=" + request.term, function (data) { response(data); }); 

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

The method $.getJSON() will do exactly that. It's just shorthand syntax for $.ajax(). You can load the JSON from the external API and then run whatever comparsions/checks you need.
