There is some data stored at a end point(url). And the file is a .jsp file.
The following is the data.
{"successful":"true","rows":[{"zip":"56431","user_id":"35","name":"test"}]}
How can I get the data from this end point? www.test/test.jsp
i.e. something like this
var data = get("www.test/test.jsp");
var jsonObj = JSON.parse(data);
etc..
Is that possible?

Reset to default 3I hope this code can help you,
var data = '{"successful":"true","rows":[{"zip":"56431","user_id":"35","name":"test"}]}'
var jsonObj = JSON.parse(data);
var userID = jsonObj.rows[0].user_id;
var name = jsonObj.rows[0].name
jQuery makes this simple:
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function callEndpoint() {
$.getJSON('/endpoint.jsp', function(data) {
$('#output').append(data.rows[0].user_id);
});
}
callEndpoint();
</script>
<body>
<div id="output"></div>
</body>
</html>
var obj = JSON.parse(string);//Were string is your data string
See this answer for more details.
I don't know what you mean by end point, but I hope you aren't parsing the data from the URL.
If you are looking for an AJAX solution, you can use this function. It can send variables through the URL and receive a response from the source url.
function get_(url, func)
{
var http;
try { http = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (e) { try { http = new ActiveXObject(\"Msxml2.XMLHTTP\"); } catch (e) { try { http = new ActiveXObject(\"Microsoft.XMLHTTP\"); } catch (e) { alert(\"Your browser broke!\"); return false; } } }
http.open(\"GET\", url, true);
http.onreadystatechange = function() { if(http.readyState == 4) { func(http); } }
http.send(null);
}
To use this, here is an example of how a button triggers the call and specified a response handler function:
HTML
<button onClick='get_("source_url.jsp", showResponse);'> Show the response </button>
JAVASCRIPT
function showResponse(h) { alert(h.responseText); }
To be clear, the second parameter of the get_ function is a reference to a function. Whatever function you specify when using the get_ function, it passes a single parameter which containes the .responseText property, which is the output from the source_url file.
I use this function all the time, though I have another version that works with my PHP server to authenticate the user so that there is no unauthorized loading/saving of information from/to the server.
