How to store JSON data into JavaScript table format?
Question
I am developing a web application and I use jQuery 1.5 and JavaScript for the main functionality of the app. I connect from my app to a RESTful interface where I GET information for a person. I use this function to retrieve the information from the json page:
var jqxhr = $.getJSON("example.json", function() { // store the data in a table }
My data in json format are like but I will get as a result more than one persons having the format of:
[{"person":{"time":"2010-02-18T17:59:44","id":1,"name": "John","age":60, "updated_at":"010-02-18T17:59:44"}}]
How can I store only the id, the name and the age of the person in a JavaScript table (to be more precise an array) and ignore the rest of the information?

Here is the specific JavaScript / jQuery you need, based on the MAP function.
var originalData = [
{ "person": { "time": "2010-02-18T17:59:34", "id": 1, "name": "John", "age": 60, "updated_at": "010-02-18T17:59:41"} },
{ "person": { "time": "2010-02-18T17:59:44", "id": 2, "name": "Bob", "age": 50, "updated_at": "010-02-18T17:59:42"} },
{ "person": { "time": "2010-02-18T17:59:54", "id": 3, "name": "Sam", "age": 40, "updated_at": "010-02-18T17:59:43"} }
];
var data = $.map(originalData, function (ele) {
return { id: ele.person.id, name: ele.person.name, age: ele.person.age };
});
Here is a full example that will convert and display the results in HTML.

You can use jQuery's map function:
var data = $.map(originalData, function(person) {
return { id: person.id, name: person.name, age: person.age };
});
map basically converts each item in an Array , producing a new Array with the modified objects.

$.getJSON("example.json", function(data) {
var name = data.person.name;
var id = data.person.id;
var age = data.person.age;
}
what do exactly mean by a javascript table u can store in a html table by
var $table = $("<table>
<tr><td>name</td><td>"+name+"</td></tr>
<tr><td>id</td><td>"+id+"</td></tr>
<tr><td>age</td><td>"+age+"</td></tr>
</table>");
