Jquery GetJson - How to read the reply?


i have always the same problem, it is hard for me to read the reply from a json post.

For example

$.getJSON('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/live/subscriptions?alt=json', function(data) {

  $.each(data.feed.entry, function(i, item) {

      console.log(item.feed.link.i); // did not work

   });

});

The Reply

{"version":"1.0","encoding":"UTF-8","feed":{"xmlns":"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom","xmlns$openSearch":"http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/","xmlns$gd":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005","xmlns$yt":"http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007","id":{"$t":"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/live/subscriptions"},"updated":{"$t":"2011-03-04T08:31:20.148Z"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind","term":"http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#subscription"}],"title":{"$t":"Subscriptions of live","type":"text"},"logo":{"$t":"http://www.youtube.com/img/pic_youtubelogo_123x63.gif"},"link":[{"rel":"related","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/live"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://www.youtube.com/profil ....

Sometimes i need an hour to get it -.- ...

How do you read this? Any nice ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • When I ran the code you pasted in my Firebug console without the feed I saw this object model:

    So as you can see feed is not a child of item, and that's why you were getting an error.

    Try this instead

    $.getJSON('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/live/subscriptions?alt=json', function(data) {

  $.each(data.feed.entry, function(i, item) {

      console.log(item.gd$feedLink); // did not work

   });

});
