I have the JSON data received from the server as:
[{"Text":"TRUCKLOAD","Spend":32323348.4},
{"Text":"NON-SYNDICATED:QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE","Spend":23270306.54},
{"Text":"SAMPLING & EVENTERVICES","Spend":18924795.75},
{"Text":"OTHER LOGISTICS","Spend":18353919.01},
{"Text":"CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION","Spend":13248733.26},
{"Text":"SECURITY SERVICES","Spend":9210534.97},
{"Text":"TAXES","Spend":8661964.99}]
Can anybody help me to bind this data dynamically to a piechart?
Another problem is that the highchart requires me to change the labels as Name and a y tag of JSON instead of the Text and Spend tag in my JSON. How do i change my JSON for that? I have scoured the net for the same but all examples only seem to show the binding of JSON from an external file.
You can see demos' source here and then click view options button.The best way to do it is format your json on your backend before you receive it.
But if you want to do it, you can use the following code:
var json = [{
"name":"TRUCKLOAD",
"y":32323348.4
}, {
"name":"NON-SYNDICATED:QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE",
"y":23270306.54
}, {
"name":"SAMPLING & EVENTERVICES",
"y":18924795.75
}];
var data = [];
for(var i in json) {
var serie = new Array(json[i].name, json[i].y);
data.push(serie);
}

I'm starting to write Google scripts to automatize certain tasks, and here I'm stuck on a problem I can't figure out by myself. I must say I'm neither an expert in app scripts (yet) nor in javascript.
Here is my problem. I make a call to a (private) REST API to retrieve some data. I get the result, parse it to get a Json object. Then I want to write some properties in a spreadsheet. For some reason, I can't get to manipulate nested objects.
Say I have a list of this json payload :
{
id: 2146904633,
status: "in_progress",
success_probability: 99,
amount: "0.0",
decision_maker: "Bob Mauranne",
business_contact: {
id: 2142664162,
nickname: "NIL",
}
}
EDIT : I made a mistake with the code I pasted (businessContact was not declared, instead a variable bc was declared).Thanks for the comment :) The code below is correct now, but still doesn't work.
I get it like with this (overly simplified) code :
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
var dataAll = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
var data, businessContact;
for (i = 0; i < dataAll.length; i++) {
data = dataAll[i];
businessContact = data.business_contact;
Logger.log(data.status);
Logger.log(businessContact);
Logger.log(businessContact.id);
}
My problem is that when I call businessContact.id I get the error "TypeError: unable to read property id from null object". And I don't understand since I can see the content from businessContact : either from the log call or from the debugger, it's definately not null.
It seems to happen only on nested objects, because on simple properties, I don't have any error. And I have the same problems on all nested objects, whatever json payload I've tried so far...
I searched on the internet for a solution but found none. It probably is very basic, but I can't get it to work.
Any idea ?
You never define "businessContact" that your using in the logger. You define "bc" but not "businessContact". If you changed it to Logger.log(bc.id) it should work.
Here is a trimmed down version of what your trying to do also.
function getJSON() {
var url = "your url";
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(response)
data.forEach(function(item) {
Logger.log(item.business_contact.id)
})
}
Heres an example pulling weather data.
function myFunction() {
var url = "https://www.aviationweather.gov/gis/scripts/TafJSON.php";
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText();
var data = JSON.parse(response)
data.features.forEach(function(feature) {
Logger.log(feature.properties.id)
})
}
I finally found the solution. This code is in a loop, sometimes the object business_contact is null and I hadn't seen it :|
Clearly I should stop working late in the evening when I learn a new technology ...
My bad, sorry for the noise, and thanks for the answers and comments guys.
I have a database with lots of document and i am using field type to define it as a table. I want to populate angularjs ui-grid with the JSON data coming in value. So i have created a view:
function(doc) {
if(doc.type === 'userTable'){
emit(doc._id, {userName:doc.userName,fName:doc.fName});
}
}
When i hit the url http://127.0.0.1:5984/rpt_db/_design/Dsgn_userjson/_view/Vw_userjson/ it gives me :
{"total_rows":1,"offset":0,"rows":[
{"id":"f43a147cd5c961fcfe4e1da1b800013a",
"key":"f43a147cd5c961fcfe4e1da1b800013a",
"value":{"userName":"rp670249","fName":"Ranjeeth"}}
]}
Now in my client code i need to do a loop and make data as JSON.
result.rows.forEach(function(item) {
var temp = { "id": item.value.userName, usrName: item.value.fName};
console.log(temp);
//Update data of grid using temp variable.
});
Is there an easy way so that i can directly use what's coming as part of couchdb JSON output which can be used as is in angular ui-grid.
You can refer column values using json dot notation in the columnDefs. Since your actual values are inside "value". you can create column definition like this,
$scope.myData = {"total_rows":1,"offset":0,"rows":[
{"id":"f43a147cd5c961fcfe4e1da1b800013a",
"key":"f43a147cd5c961fcfe4e1da1b800013a",
"value":{"userName":"rp670249","fName":"Ranjeeth"}}
]}
$scope.gridOptions = {
data : $scope.myData.rows,
columnDefs : [
{name:"id",field:"value.userName"},
{name:"usrName",field:"value.fName"}
]
};
Here's a working plnkr.

I have a rest service for which I am sending the Json data as ["1","2","3"](list of strings) which is working fine in firefox rest client plugin, but while sending the data in application the structure is {"0":"1","1":"2","2":"3"} format, and I am not able to pass the data, how to convert the {"0":"1","1":"2","2":"3"} to ["1","2","3"] so that I can send the data through application, any help would be greatly appreciated.
If the format of the json is { "index" : "value" }, is what I'm seeing in {"0":"1","1":"2","2":"3"}, then we can take advantage of that information and you can do this:
var myObj = {"0":"1","1":"2","2":"3"};
var convertToList = function(object) {
var i = 0;
var list = [];
while(object.hasOwnProperty(i)) { // check if value exists for index i
list.push(object[i]); // add value into list
i++; // increment index
}
return list;
};
var result = convertToList(myObj); // result: ["1", "2", "3"]
See fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/amyamy86/NzudC/
Use a fake index to "iterate" through the list. Keep in mind that this won't work if there is a break in the indices, can't be this: {"0":"1","2":"3"}
You need to parse out the json back into a javascript object. There are parsing tools in the later iterations of dojo as one of the other contributors already pointed out, however most browsers support JSON.parse(), which is defined in ECMA-262 5th Edition (the specification that JS is based on). Its usage is:
var str = your_incoming_json_string,
// here is the line ...
obj = JSON.parse(string);
// DEBUG: pump it out to console to see what it looks like
a.forEach(function(entry) {
console.log(entry);
});
For the browsers that don't support JSON.parse() you can implement it using json2.js, but since you are actually using dojo, then dojo.fromJson() is your way to go. Dojo takes care of browser independence for you.
var str = your_incoming_json_string,
// here is the line ...
obj = dojo.fromJson(str);
// DEBUG: pump it out to console to see what it looks like
a.forEach(function(entry) {
console.log(entry);
});
If you're using an AMD version of Dojo then you will need to go back to the Dojo documentation and look at dojo/_base/json examples on the dojo.fromJson page.
I've been using XML a lot lately but now I'm practicing with some JSON.
What I am trying to do is make a button and text box - so the user can type in a zip code and it will get the info for that zip code...
Using JSON from geonames.org
It's frustrating me trying to figure this out, I've found it easy when I was making my own files with XML but now I am trying to use an actual website and JSON.
Please show me how to do this! Would appreciate it! Thanks.
First of all HTML cannot process a json response from a server. You can send a get or post in json format to a server and get a json response back but you need something other than HTML to process that JSON message. Browsers can format and display XML but not JSON (they just display it as a string). The easiest way to do that in a browser is use JavaScript. For this I would recommend using the jquery library.
http://jquery.com
Here's an example of some jquery I used recently to process a returned JSON string.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".img a").on("click", function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var item;
if ((item= $(this).attr( 'href' ))=="saved") return false;
$(this).html("<div style='line-height:4em '>Saved</div>");
$(this).attr("href","saved");
var action ="add";
jqxhr = $.post("webservice.php", { action: action, color: item }, function(data) {
var result=data.result;
if (result=="saved") {
self.html("<div>Saved</div>");
self.attr("href","saved");
}
}, "json")
.error(function() {
alert("error: unable to contact web service");
});
});
});
The returned JSON string from this request is { result: saved }. So as you can see you access the associated array as part of the data object. In my case data.result provided me with the value of result from the json string.
Note my example is for using an anchor tag to pass a value to send in the webservice call. In your case you will need to use a form.
If you're using jeoquery then just look at the html source of UI sample. It's showing the same autocomplete box that you might be trying to implement no custom code to write to parse returned JSON. Below code should work for you:
<input class="input-large" id="city" type="text"/>
$("#city").jeoCityAutoComplete();
I just working with JSON data and am playing around with jQuery and Ajax requests. Pretty basic stuff, but here's my problem.
I have a basic data set which I was using for time tracking. I know how to parse the simple JSON data like this:
{
"end" : "1/18/2011",
"start" : "1/18/2011",
"task" : "Code Review",
},
It's the more complicated stuff I'm trying to parse like this where I'm trying to pull the "time" data out.
{
"end" : "1/17/2011",
"start" : "1/17/2011",
"task" : "Exclusive Brands",
"time" : {
"analysis" : 4,
"documentation" : 3,
"meetings" : 2
}
This is the code for the script I've been using to parse the simple data:
$(function() {
$('.load').click(function(){
$.getJSON("data.js",function(data){
$.each(data.timesheet, function(i,data){
var div_data ="<div class='box'>"+data.start+" "+data.task+"</div>";
$(div_data).appendTo("#time-tracking");
});
}
);
return false;
});
});
My question is what's the format to parse the time data, or what's the best way to parse the information nested inside the time element?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
A JSON string will be parsed into an object. When parsed, the time is the key of one object. You could retrieve the value of this object through the dot operator (.).
data = JSON.parse('{"end":"1/17/2011", "start":"1/17/2011", "task":"Exclusive Brands", "time": {"analysis":4, "documentation":3, "meetings":2 } }')
// => obj
data.time.analysis
// => 4
In your case similarly you could use the data.time.meetings to access your data from remote server.
Unless I am terribly mistaken, since jquery already converted data into a javascript for you, you should be able to access time as if it was a javascript object like so:
var analysis = data.time.analysis;
var documentation = data.time.documentation;
var meetings = data.time.meetings;
etc...
