How to Parse JSON Results into HTML Table Columns Using jQuery

In the world of web development, handling JSON data from APIs is a common task. If you find yourself needing to extract results from an API and present them in a well-structured HTML table, you may run into difficulties—particularly with jQuery looping. This guide will show you an effective way to achieve this. Let’s dive right in!

The Problem at Hand

Imagine you have the following JSON object from an API response:

Your goal is to parse this data and display it as an HTML table with separate columns for each entry's name and customer number. This is where looping with jQuery can become tricky.

The Solution Explained

Let’s break down the solution into clear steps:

1. Understand the Structure of Your JSON

The first step is recognizing how your JSON is formatted:

The keys (like 123SC, 67BC, 99ABC) are identifiers for customer data.

Each key holds an array of objects, each containing a name and a Custnumber.

2. Prepare Your JavaScript Code

Here’s how you can parse the JSON and convert it into an HTML table using jQuery:

3. Code Breakdown

Step 1: Combine Arrays
We start by creating an empty array called arrays. We loop through our main JSON object, collecting all customer objects into this single array.

Step 2: Build Table Rows
Two variables, names and Custnumber, are created to form the table rows. We initialize them with the opening <tr> tag.

Step 3: Iterate through the Data
By looping through the arrays, we create table data cells for each customer's name and Custnumber dynamically.

Step 4: Form the Complete HTML
Finally, we concatenate the rows together and close them, forming a complete HTML table which is displayed to the user using document.write().

4. Render the HTML Table

Once the JavaScript executes in the browser, it renders the HTML table that displays customer names and numbers in separate columns.

Conclusion

Parsing JSON into HTML tables can seem daunting at first, especially when dealing with nested structures. However, with clear logic and structured coding, as shown above, you can efficiently display your data in a user-friendly format.

By following these steps, you can easily adapt the solution to fit different JSON responses and display them accordingly on your web page. Happy coding!
