I am trying to parse some very basic JSON, but I don't know where I'm going wrong when trying to display it to the screen.

Am I not GRABBING the data correctly, such as, "data.re1Code"? I hope someone can shed some light onto my basic question sorry.

JSON Data

[ { "rep1FullName": "Justin Giesbrecht", "rep1Code": "dc", } ]

Javascript

$.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "testJSONData.php", dataType: "json", success: function(data) { $("#output").append(data.rep1FullName); }, error: function () { alert("Error"); } }); // End of generated json

The brackets [] make data a JSON array with your object as the 0th element so to get "Justin Giesbrecht" use the code: $("#output").append(data[0].rep1FullName); or remove the brackets and make the JSON:

{ "rep1FullName": "Justin Giesbrecht", "rep1Code": "dc", }

Well the reason i'm getting the data that way, is how PHP uses json_encode(). Never thought about that issue. Thank you that worked great!

Your data is an array.

So you'd want

$("#output").append(data[0].rep1FullName);

You are returning a jSon array so you would need to access it via data[0].rep1FullName or return the jSon as below and then use data.rep1FullName

{ "rep1FullName":"Justin Giesbrecht", "rep1Code":"dc" }

Also, remove the last comma from the object notation.

[ { "rep1FullName": "Justin Giesbrecht", "rep1Code": "dc" // <-- No comma, breaks in IE if you have a comma. } ]

Some of the other posters did this, but didn't mention it.
