Drupal 8.0.4 Hosting Tips: How to Handling Drupal json HTML responses in jQuery?
In this tutorial, i will tell you about how to handling Drupal json HTML responses in jQuery. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition – December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.
JSON is built on two structures:
- A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an object, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array.
- An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence.
drupal_json($output); used to send server side responses in Drupal. Here to process html responses from an array in $.ajax success() we need to use eval() in order to handle encrypted responses. Now, write the following code:
<?php $output['FirstTable'] = "<table><tr><td>1</td></tr></table>"; $output['SecTable'] = "<table><tr><td>2</td></tr></table>"; echo drupal_json($output); exit; ?> In Script file $.ajax({ "url": <url>, "success": function(output) { var content = eval("(" + output + ")"); // response is converted as object $("selector").html(content.FirstTable); $("selector").html(content.SecTable); } });
