POHow to create a JSON feed
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a file called parsing.html that parses through a xml feed and converts the metadata into <code>JSON</code> Object called "data". I'm trying to output this <code>JSON</code> "data" as a JSON feed such as <a href="http://www.videws.com/gtv/videosources.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.videws.com/gtv/videosources.php</a>. Is doing <code>document.write(JSON.stringify(data))</code> the equivalent of creating a <code>JSON</code> feed in this case?</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: 'fakeFeed.xml', dataType: 'xml', async: false, success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) { function getRandom(max) { return Math.floor(Math.random() * max); } function getThumbId(small) { var num = getRandom(15); if (num == 0) { num = 1; } if (num < 10) { num = '0' + num; } return num.toString(); } var categories = new Array(); // Array for the categories var category = { name : '', videos: [] }; var data1 = data; var data = { categories: [] }; $(data1).find('item').each(function () { var el = $(this); var categoryName = el.find('category').text(); var p = categories.indexOf(categoryName); if( p == -1) { categories.push(categoryName); var category = { name: categoryName, videos: [] }; for (var j = 0; j<5; j++) { var video = { sources: [el.find('media\\:content, content').attr('url')], thumb : 'images\/thumbs\/thumb' + getThumbId() + '.jpg', title : el.find("title").text(), subtitle : el.find("description").text(), description: "" } //document.write(categories); category.videos.push(video); } data.categories.push(category); } }); document.write(JSON.stringify(data)); } }) </code></pre>
