This isn't perfect but it should give you some help in understanding how to append to a div via jQuery. Your data was messed up, so I fixed it and made it a valid object. You may want to use things like JSLint to check your data before testing your pages - https://jsonlint.com/

 var data = { "category": { "books": [ {"title":"Sentra", "url":"https:/goo.gl/4cPCdn", "button":"https:google.in"}, {"title":"Maxima", "url":"https:/goo.gl/4cPCdn", "button":"https:google.in"} ], "games": [ {"title":"Taurus", "url":"https:/goo.gl/4cPCdn","button":"https:/google.in"}, {"title":"Escort", "url":"https:/goo.gl/4cPCdn","button":"https:/google.in"} ] } } /* not needed for test, we've already included our data above $.ajax({ url: 'json-data.json', type: "get", dataType: "json", success: function (data) { drawTable(data); } }); */ data = data.category; drawTable(data) function drawTable(theData) { for (category in theData) { console.log('category is '+category) var categoryEntries = theData[category] for (var i = 0; i < categoryEntries.length; i++) { var rowData = categoryEntries[i]; drawRow(category,rowData) } } } function drawRow(category,rowData) { // console.log(JSON.stringify(rowData)) var title = rowData.title; var url = rowData.url; var button = rowData.button var newDiv = '<div class="card">'+ '<div class="card-body">'+ '<h4 class="card-title">'+title+'</h4>'+ '<img class="img-fluid z-depth-3 rounded-circle" src="'+url+'" alt="Card image cap">'+ '<h4 class="card-title">'+category+'</h4>'+ '<a href="'+button+'" class="btn btn-primary">Button</a>'+ '</div>'+ '</div>' $('#'+category).append(newDiv); } 

 #books,#games { display:block; width: 100%; clear:both; } .card { float:left; width: 30vw; }
