Read Json Variable

Question

{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "2","teamname" : "Milan"}]}

How do i write the code to read the teamid and teamname so as to store them in seperate variables?

Please Help!

Answer 1

If it is a JSON string, parse it...

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(jsonString);

Then work with the information

obj.TeamList[0].teamid;
obj.TeamList[0].teamname;

TeamList is an array so if you have more than one "team" you'll need to loop over them.

Answer 2

You have an object containing an array TeamList , which has one object as its elements:

var tl = {"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "2","teamname" : "Milan"}]};

var id = tl.TeamList[0].teamid;
var name = tl.TeamList[0].teamname;

Answer 3

If the example you have posted in contained as a string you can parse it like so with javascript...

var jsonObject = JSON.parse(myJsonString);

you can then access your array like so...

jsonObject.TeamList

and each item in TeamList...

jsonObject.TeamList[i].teamid
jsonObject.TeamList[i].teamname

finally assuming you have one item in TeamList and making an attemp to directly answers you question...

var teamid = jsonObject.TeamList[0].teamid;
var teamname = jsonObject.TeamList[0].teamname;

hope that makes sense

Answer 4

in which language? Basically after parsing using json you would do something like this on the result:

result["TeamList"][0]["teamname"] to get teamname and result["TeamList"][0]["teamid"] to get teamid.

Answer 5

If you can use json_decode, like this :

$content = '{"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "2","teamname" : "Milan"}]}';
$json = json_decode($content);
$obj = $json->{'TeamList'}[0];
print $obj->{'teamid'}."//".$obj->{'teamname'};

Answer 6

You had tagged your question as jQuery? We're you wanting to display this information on a page?

Given some sample html:

<label>Team ID:</label>
<div id="teamid"></div>

<label>Team Name:</label>
<div id="teamname"></div>

And a little jquery:

var obj = {"TeamList" : [{"teamid" : "2","teamname" : "Milan"}]};

$('#teamid').html(obj.TeamList[0].teamid);
$('#teamname').html(obj.TeamList[0].teamname);

Would allow you to accomplish this. As others have pointed out you would need to iterate over the collection if there were multiple teams.
