Question

Any jquery autocomplete plugin which consumes this json format?

{"Table" : [{"ClientName" : "Pandiya"},
{"ClientName" : "Bala"}]}

or how to change the above to

source: ["Pandiya", "Bala"]

Answer 1

As far as I know, the one in jQuery UI lets you define a custom callback, in which you can do any filtering and transforms you like on the results, and convert your results to the format the widget likes.

Answer 2

It would be very easy to handle this with the jQuery UI autocomplete plugin:

var list = {"Table" : [{"ClientName" : "Pandiya"},{"ClientName" : "Bala"}]};
$("#autcomplete").autocomplete({
    source: $.map(list.Table, function(item) {
                return {
                    label: item.ClientName,
                    value: item.ClientName
                }
            })
});
