How to Read an Object in jQuery

As a dynamic programming language for the web, jQuery can be used to perform many actions on a website. These include reading objects from other JavaScript applications that are outputted in the form of JSON, which is the standard for data and other kinds of information sent from object-oriented Javascript applications. Reading an object in jQuery is also known as parsing an object.

      Obtain the Javascript object using jQuery by calling the getJSON function. For example:

      $(function(URL) {

      $.getJSON("jsonExampleObj.js", function (json) {

      Read the object by using the following jJSON function:

      jJSON("title") = (function() {

      response = {

      values: [],

      count: 0

      };

      Dictate how the objects should be handled by adding additional Javascript functions. For example:

      $.each(json.attributes,function(i,itim) {

      if (item.title != "undefined" && item.title != " ") {

      response.count++;

      response.values[i] = item.title;

      }

      });

      return response;

      })();
