Converting JSON to String - json

Question

I am having issues on converting JSON data to readable text. Right now it comes out something like this:
{"id":82,"url":"http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/82/game-of-thrones","name":"Game of Thrones","type":"Scripted","language":"English","genres":["Drama","Adventure","Fantasy"],"status":"Running","runtime":60,"premiered":"2011-04-17","schedule":{"time":"21:00","days":["Sunday"]},"rating":{"average":9.3},"weight":10,"network":{"id":8,"name":"HBO","country":{"name":"United States","code":"US","timezone":"America/New_York"}},"webChannel":null,"externals":{"tvrage":24493,"thetvdb":121361,"imdb":"tt0944947"},"image":{"medium":"http://static.tvmaze.com/uploads/images/medium_portrait/53/132622.jpg","original":"http://static.tvmaze.com/uploads/images/original_untouched/53/132622.jpg"},"summary":"<p>Based on the bestselling book series <em>A Song of Ice and Fire</em> by George R.R.

How would I go about converting this data so I can view it as ID, Name, Genre etc.?

Answer 1

If you just want to print it to the console, try something like this:
var json = '{"id":82,"url":"http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/82/game-of-thrones","name":"Game of Thrones","type":"Scripted","language":"English","genres":["Drama","Adventure","Fantasy"],"status":"Running","runtime":60,"premiered":"2011-04-17","schedule":{"time":"21:00","days":["Sunday"]},"rating":{"average":9.3},"weight":10,"network":{"id":8,"name":"HBO","country":{"name":"United States","code":"US","timezone":"America/New_York"}},"webChannel":null,"externals":{"tvrage":24493,"thetvdb":121361,"imdb":"tt0944947"},"image":{"medium":"http://static.tvmaze.com/uploads/images/medium_portrait/53/132622.jpg","original":"http://static.tvmaze.com/uploads/images/original_untouched/53/132622.jpg"},"summary":"<p>Based on the bestselling book series <em>A Song of Ice and Fire</em> by George R.R.

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(json)
function printLine(obj){
for( var i in obj){
if(typeof obj[i] != 'object') console.log(i + ": " +obj[i]);
else printLine(obj[i]);
}
}
printLine(obj);
