geting Invalid error in Json

Question

I am getting an Invalid Error Label in my console error message.

My result.json file is in format like

{
"name": "Zara Ali",
"age" : "67",
"sex": "female"
}

and my code is like below from where i want to fetch above result.joson file

$(document).ready(function() {  

    //if submit button is clicked  
   $('#recaptcha_reload').click(function () { 

$.ajax({

dataType: "jsonp",

url: 'http://www.remoteserver.com/advertise_api/result.json?callback=?&rpp=50&q=mozilla',

jsonp: "$callback",

success: function(data){

alert("#");

},

error : function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {

          alert("$$");   

        }

  });

});   

});   

What about this error ? Thanks

Answer 1

When requesting using JSONP, you have to return the data in JSONP format:

$callback({
"name": "Zara Ali",
"age" : "67",
"sex": "female"
});

The data will be executed when it arrives (as that is how JSONP works). If you don't put the object in a function call, it will be executed as if it was code, which is the reason for the error message. The brackets are interpreted as a scope block, and "name": is interpreted as a label, which is invalid because a label can't have quotation marks in the identifier.
