JQuery: json to object?

Question

var gallery = new TGallery([[{"image":{"updated_at":"2010-03-20T00:00:00Z","title":"dfgdfg","spam_reports":0,"by_profile_id":1,"comment_count":0,"id":1,"description":"htt","on_type":"profile","adult_reports":0,"on_id":1,"created_at":"2010-03-20T00:00:00Z"}]]);

Then in the TGallery class I would like to convert the json object to a js object. thanks

without a plugin if is possible... :)

Answer 1

That is already a "JS object". Just try accessing the argument in TGallery and you'll see.

Answer 2

You're already passing in a JavaScript object in that example. If you had a JSON string instead, you could do the following:

If you're using jQuery >= 1.4.1 you can use its built-in parseJSON method to turn your JSON string into an object. Otherwise, you'll want to use the library from JSON.org.

Answer 3

What you posted isn't quite valid (missing a }), but if you can change the format a bit, no need for conversion, something like this:

var gallery = [{"image":{"updated_at":"2010-03-20T00:00:00Z","title":"dfgdfg","spam_reports":0,"by_profile_id":1,"comment_count":0,"id":1,"description":"htt","on_type":"profile","adult_reports":0,"on_id":1,"created_at":"2010-03-20T00:00:00Z"}}];

Changes here: added the closing brace, removed the extra [] wrapper and removed the TGallery() call. Then you can loop though/access images like this:

$.each(gallery, function(i, o) {
    alert(o.image.updated_at);
});​
