How to parse a JSON response in a Client script coming from script include ?

[Subhashree Sub1]

Hi All,

I am trying to retrieve JSON objects in a client script which receives the JSON response from a Script include through GlideAJAX. However, I am unable to make it work inside the Client script by using JSON.parse and several other ways that I have tried.

Script include:

Response coming from Script include:

Please let me know how to retrieve an object from this response in the client script. I am trying to do in onSubmit client script.

Thank you!

Hi,

so what you wish to get from the JSON object?

your json seems wrong

Can you share your script include code and client script code

Hi Subhashree,

Try to use JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify() I let you some examples about how your JSON object built should be:

//Script include

var scriptIncludeName= Class.create();
scriptIncludeName.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
	
    methodName:function(){
        var jsonData = {
             "result": "OK",
             "argument": 'param',
        };        
        return JSON.stringify(jsonData); // Encodes json into a string and returns it.
    }
}

//Client Script

function callback(response){
    // Use documentElement and "answer" is a fixed value
    var answer =  response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute('answer');
    
    try{
        // It's unlikely, but it's better to define exceptions
        answer = JSON.parse(answer); // Convert json string to object
    }
    catch(e){
        alert(e);
        return;
    }
    alert(answer.result);   // value="OK"
    alert(answer.argument); // value="param"
}

If it was helpful, please give positive feedback.
Thanks,
