The jQuery.getJSON( url, [data], [callback] ) method loads JSON data from the server using a GET HTTP request.
Assuming we have the following JSON content in result.json file −
{
"name": "Amy",
"age" : "24",
"sex": "female"
}
Example
The following is the code snippet showing the usage of this method −
<head>
<script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#driver").click(function(event){
$.getJSON('result.json', function(jd) {
$('#stage').html('<p> Name: ' + jd.name + '</p>');
$('#stage').append('<p>Age : ' + jd.age+ '</p>');
$('#stage').append('<p> Sex: ' + jd.sex+ '</p>');
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Click on the button to load result.html file:</p>
<div id = "stage" style = "background-color:#cc0;">
STAGE
</div>
<input type = "button" id = "driver" value = "Load Data" />
</body>
