How do I write json results to a div using jquery?

Question

This is probably a really easy question, but I can't find anything that works.

I'm trying to take a json result and just write it into the inner html of a div to see what it looks like.

I have something like this:

$.getJSON("someurlthatgivesmejson",
    function(data){         
        $("#jsonmodel").html(data);  // what should this be??
    });
  });

UPDATE

I was able to get it to display some text by using

$("#jsonmodel").html($.param(data));

However, it's not formatted like how the browser displays a json result, like the structure of the javascript object.

Answer 1

depends on what the data is. if you want to write it as a string, then you should use the $.get method to get it, that way its not converted into a js hash for you

Answer 2

data is a JavaScript object, you need a string.

Answer 3

You can use jquery-json library

`$('#jsonmodel').html($.toJSON(data));`
