I have been using an http.get() to make calls to the SounbdCloud API method to receive a JSON object that I would like to pass to the browser. I can confirm that the data I receive is an object, since I the typeof() method I call on the data prints out that it is an object.
var getTracks = http.get("http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks.json?q="+query+"&client_id=CLIENT_ID", function(tracks) {
tracks.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log(typeof(chunk)); // where I determine that I receive an object
res.send(chunk);
});
//console.log(tracks.data);
}).on("error", function(e){
console.log("Got error: "+e);
});
But when I check the data I receive in the AJAX request I make in the browser, I find that the data received has a type of String (again, I know this by calling typeof())
$('#search').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var q = $("#query").val();
$.ajax({
url: '/search',
type: 'POST',
data: {
"query": q
},
success: function(data){
alert(typeof(data));
alert(data);
},
error: function(xhr, textStatus, err){
alert(err);
}
})
});
I would appreciate the help, since I do not know where the problem is, or whether I am looking for the answer in the wrong places (perhaps it has something to do with my usage of SoundCloud's HTTP API)
JSON is a string. I assume you need an Object representing your JSON string.
Simply use the following method.
var obj = JSON.parse(data);
Another example would be:
var jsonStr = '{"name":"joe","age":"22","isRobot":"false"}';
var jsonObj = JSON.parse(jsonStr);
jsonObj.name //joe
jsonObj.age // 22
