I was able to pull the JSON data and put it into my HTML file as a script in my head. How do I gain access to this data? (put it into usable variables)
external json.php file (populated with mySQL data):
names:
[
{"firstName":"Kevin","lastName":"Guo"},
{"firstName":"Jun Sung","lastName":"Wong"},
{"firstName":"Anton","lastName":"Ansalmar"},
{"firstName":"Linda","lastName":"Wong"},
{"firstName":"George","lastName":"Costanza"}
]
my javascript code that pulls in the external json data:
var elm = document.createElement("script");
elm.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
elm.src = "http://totallyExternalURL.php";
elm.id="jsonTest";
console.log(elm);
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(elm);
The entire json data is put as a script in my head, how can I pull all the firstnames/lastnames for display?
