Solution 1 - Javascript
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"> </script>
<script>
$(function() {
var people = [];
$.getJSON('people.json', function(data) {
$.each(data.person, function(i, f) {
var tblRow = "<tr>" + "<td>" + f.firstName + "</td>" +
"<td>" + f.lastName + "</td>" + "<td>" + f.job + "</td>" + "<td>" + f.roll + "</td>" + "</tr>"
$(tblRow).appendTo("#userdata tbody");
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="profile">
<table id= "userdata" border="2">
<thead>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Email Address</th>
<th>City</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
My JSON file:
{
"person": [
{
"firstName": "Clark",
"lastName": "Kent",
"job": "Reporter",
"roll": 20
},
{
"firstName": "Bruce",
"lastName": "Wayne",
"job": "Playboy",
"roll": 30
},
{
"firstName": "Peter",
"lastName": "Parker",
"job": "Photographer",
"roll": 40
}
]
}
I succeeded in integrating a JSON file to HTML table after working a day on it!!!
Solution 2 - Javascript
use jQuery's $.getJSON
$.getJSON('mydata.json', function(data) {
//do stuff with your data here
});
Solution 3 - Javascript
You can use JavaScript like... Just give the proper path of your json file...
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="abc.json"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function load() {
var mydata = JSON.parse(data);
alert(mydata.length);
var div = document.getElementById('data');
for(var i = 0;i < mydata.length; i++)
{
div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML + "<p class='inner' id="+i+">"+ mydata[i].name +"</p>" + "<br>";
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
<div id="data">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Simply getting the data and appending it to a div... Initially printing the length in alert.
Here is my Json file: abc.json
data = '[{"name" : "Riyaz"},{"name" : "Javed"},{"name" : "Arun"},{"name" : "Sunil"},{"name" : "Rahul"},{"name" : "Anita"}]';
Solution 4 - Javascript
You can easily do this without using Jquery or AJAX like below. Here, I used fetch API (Built-in).
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myData"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
fetch('data.json')
.then(function (response) {
return response.json();
})
.then(function (data) {
appendData(data);
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log('error: ' + err);
});
function appendData(data) {
let mainContainer = document.getElementById("myData");
for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
let div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = 'Name: ' + data[i].firstName + ' ' + data[i].lastName;
mainContainer.appendChild(div);
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
data.json
[ { "id": "1", "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe" }, { "id": "2", "firstName": "Mary", "lastName": "Peterson" }, { "id": "3", "firstName": "George", "lastName": "Hansen" }]
