Parse JSON from URL

Question

I am building a web site and I use a url which returns a JSON response, like:

{name:mark; status:ok}

I would like to obtain the name, using only JavaScript or jQuery in my HTML page.

Can somebody help me to do this?

Your JSON is bogus. Other than that, did you try searching for "jquery json"? — pimvdb

Have a look at jQuery's .getJSON() method, which will make it really easy for you.

$.getJSON('yourURL.php', function(data) {
  alert(data.name);
});

If you need more flexibility you should have a look at .ajax() instead. .getJSON() is really just a short hand for the .ajax() method, suitable for making simple requests to fetch JSON. With .ajax() you will have a lot of more options - specifying an error handler for instance, and much more.

$.getJSON("URL", function(json) {
   alert("JSON Data: " + json.name);
 });

I guess this will work for you.

If you want to Pass parameters then here is code

$.getJSON("URL", { name: "John", time: "2pm" }, function(json) {
    alert("JSON Data: " + json.name);
    });

   $(document).ready(function () {
    var url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/me';
    $.getJSON(url, function (data) {
        alert(data.name);
    });
});
