Ext.decode and arrays

[profunctional]

I'm using the following line of code to decode some json data:

var jsonData = Ext.util.JSON.decode(response.responseText);

The data being returned looks something like this {"Rows":[ "RowNum":1", ......

My problem is that when I do jsonData.Rows[0].RowNum, it is telling me that Rows is undefined.

What is the correct way to use the decode method?

Using Ext.decode is the right way. It can be something like this



Ext.Ajax.request({
url : 'url.php',
success: function( response) {
var serverResponse = Ext.util.JSON.decode(response.responseText);
alert(serverResponse.test);
}
});



but u need to be sure, that your JSON response from server is valid. With this JSON snippet the failure is hard to find....

Well, from the sample you post, it's not valid json.



{
Rows: [RowNum: 1] // <--- not valid
}




{
Rows: [{
RowNum: 1
}]
}

The documentation says that if the json is invalid, there will be a syntax error thrown. So I know that the json is fine. This same json string works with jquery's jQuery.parseJSON so I'm positive there is no problems with the data.

With jquery i can do this:

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(json);

$.each(obj.Rows, function(i, ticket)
{
}

But I thought the whole point of moving to sencha was going lightweight, and not having to include jquery.

Well, you haven't show what your json is, so I can't really comment definitively. The more info you provide the more likely it is someone can help you.

Here is the Json string.

{"Rows":[ {"RowNum":"1","TicketId":"33371", "BusinessUnit":"null","Test Field":""}]}

Ok, the JSON is valid. What is jsonData? Have you checked if it's null?

For example:



var s = '{"Rows":[ {"RowNum":"1","TicketId":"33371", "BusinessUnit":"null","Test Field":""}]}';
var o = Ext.decode(s);

console.log(o.Rows[0].RowNum);

jsonData is not null. When I write out the value, it is the json string specified in the previous thread.

Well, this is strange. calling decode twice like the below works:

var jsonData = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
var s = jsonData;
var o = Ext.decode(s);
alert(o.Rows[5].TicketId);

somethin like this dirty code^^ should do it
i just tested it and it works on my dev environment



Ext.Ajax.request({
url : serverURL,
success: function(objServerResponse){
var serverResult = Ext.util.JSON.decode(objServerResponse.responseText);

for (var a = 0; a < serverResult.Rows.length; a++) {
var row = serverResult.Rows[a];
alert(row.TicketId);
}
//alert(serverResult.Rows[0].TicketId);
}
});
