javascript - How to parse a Json list like this and display its elements in HTML?

Question

I got an Json object by using jQuery's getjson() method like that:

<script>

$(document).ready(function(){

  $("button").click(function(){
    $.getJSON(the_api_url, {}, function(data) {
        // do something
    });
  });
  });

});

</script>

The data is an array list, and its format is like this:

[
    {
        id : "001",
        name : "apple",
        class : "fruit",
        colour : "red"
    },
    {
        id : "002",
        name : "melon",
        class : "fruit",
        colour : "green"
    },
    {
        id : "003",
        name : "banana",
        class : "fruit",
        colour : "yellow"
    }
]

I am new to JavaScript and don't know how to parse and display it in html page. Could you guys help me with the code in the '//do something' part?

Answer 1

Add a html element like

<ul id="ct"></ul>

then

$(document).ready(function(){

    $("button").click(function(){
        $.getJSON(the_api_url, {}, function(data) {
            var $ul = $('#ul')
            $.each(data, function(idx, item){
                $ul.append('<li style="color: ' + item.color + '">' + item.name + '-' + item['class'] +'</li>')
            })
        });
    });
});
