Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token JSON

Question

Hi Every one I'm trying to get this json file from a web service from this website : "http://172.20.192.218:8080/DC_Local/rest/datacorrelation?type=/soccer/football_team&limit=20&callback=?"

However I'm getting this "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token" But I dunno whats wrong.

this is my code for calling the json file :

var pts = []; $.getJSON("http://172.20.192.218:8080/DC_Local/rest/datacorrelation?type=/soccer/football_team&limit=20&callback=?", function(data) { //JSON.parse(data); $.each(data, function(i,v){ pts.push([v.topic, v.audience.length]); }); });

and this is my json file I'm trying to get :

{"data":[{"id":"/en/arsenal_fc","topic":"Arsenal F.C.","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/ajax_amsterdam","topic":"Ajax Amsterdam","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/az_alkmaar","topic":"AZ Alkmaar","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/as_roma","topic":"A.S.

You do not need the JSON.parse() call. Not sure, whether you used it or not, when you got the error. — Sirko

Is it because you're trying to iterate over an array but you're actually getting an object back? Does iterating over data.data work? — Tim Croydon

Your URL has callback=? in it which tells jQuery this is a cross domain jsonp request. Is server returning json or jsonp ? If it is only json and is cross domain it won't work and would be reson for error — charlietfl

You have to write $.each(data.data, function(i,v){ instead of $.each(data, function(i,v){.

Sample:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Add many Elements</title> <script src="jquery.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { var dataString = '{"data":[{"id":"/en/arsenal_fc","topic":"Arsenal F.C.","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/ajax_amsterdam","topic":"Ajax Amsterdam","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/az_alkmaar","topic":"AZ Alkmaar","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/as_roma","topic":"A.S. Roma","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/ac_milan","topic":"A.C. Milan","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/acf_fiorentina","topic":"ACF Fiorentina","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/bristol_city_fc","topic":"Bristol City F.C.","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/charlton_athletic_fc","topic":"Charlton Athletic F.C.","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/ac_chievoverona","topic":"A.C. Chievo Verona","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/chelsea_fc","topic":"Chelsea F.C.","audience":[{"information":[{"category":"Athlete","source":"Frank Lampard"}],"username":"Tan Jercia","userid":"100003921730958"},{"information":[{"category":"Athlete","source":"Didier Drogba"},{"category":"Athlete","source":"Frank Lampard"},{"category":"Professional sports team","source":"Chelsea Football Club"},{"category":"favorite_athletes","source":"Peter Cech"},{"category":"favorite_athletes","source":"Didier Drogba"},{"category":"favorite_athletes","source":"Frank Lampard"}],"username":"Ang Peterson","userid":"100003914111287"}],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/england_national_football_team","topic":"England national football team","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/fulham_fc","topic":"Fulham F.C.","audience":[],"type":"/soccer/football_team"},{"id":"/en/f_c_den_bosch","topic":"F.

Your first sentence does not really make sense to me. Bot variants seem identical.
Sorry, I meant to the second example should have said *'$.each(data, function'
