You should remove the attrribute 'href' from your json

Or you could just add single quotes to your json data links like so

var data = {
        "person": [{
            "revisiondate": "21 April 2016",
            "documentname": "1658MC",
            "department": "Sales",
            "description": "Available",
            "link": "href='1658MC.pdf'"
        }, {
            "revisiondate": "16 April 2016",
            "documentname": "VCX16B",
            "department": "Enginnering",
            "description": "Not Available",
            "link": "href='VCX16B.pdf'"
        }, {
            "revisiondate": "15 March 2016",
            "documentname": "AB36F",
            "department": "Custumer Services",
            "description":  "Not Available",
            "link": "href='AB36F.pdf'"
        }, {
            "revisiondate": "12 Agust 2016",
            "documentname": "FC25D",
            "department": "Technical Support",
            "description": "Not Available",
            "link": "href='FC25D.pdf'"
        }]


$.each(data.person, function(i, person) {
            var tblRow =    "<tr><td>" + person.revisiondate + 
                            "</td><td>" + person.documentname + 
                            "</td><td>" + person.department +

Don't treat it like a file, think of it just as data, just a string. And then when you are done with any modifications, either prompt the browser to download it or send it across a network. You can treat it like any other string of data.

A standard http GET request should do it. Then you can use JSON.parse() to make it into a json object.

function Get(yourUrl){
    var Httpreq = new XMLHttpRequest(); // a new request
    Httpreq.open("GET",yourUrl,false);
    Httpreq.send(null);
    return Httpreq.responseText;          
}

then

var json_obj = JSON.parse(Get(yourUrl));
console.log("this is the author name: "+json_obj.author_name);

that's basically it

It seems they offer a js option for the format parameter, which will return JSONP. You can retrieve JSONP like so:

function getJSONP(url, success) {

    var ud = '_' + +new Date,
        script = document.createElement('script'),
        head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] 
               || document.documentElement;

    window[ud] = function(data) {
        head.removeChild(script);
        success && success(data);
    };

    script.src = url.replace('callback=?', 'callback=' + ud);
    head.appendChild(script);

}

getJSONP('http://soundcloud.com/oembed?url=http%3A//soundcloud.com/forss/flickermood&format=js&callback=?', function(data){
    console.log(data);
});

how to generate a URL from JSON object?

Top answer

1 of 2

You could create a function which creates the URL based on the object provided.

Destructure the parameter to get scheme, server, path. Assign a default value to path since it is optional. Get the remaining unknown properties to a rest variable using spread syntax (Properties like item, itemDetails etc will be inside the rest object)
You can create the base URL using the first 3 variables using a template literal
To get the query string, you can use URLSearchParams constructor. It has several overloads. You can pass a query string or an object or an array of entries as parameter to the constructor. If the object is flat, you simply do, new URLSearchParams(rest).toString() to create the query string. But, since you have nested arrays and objects, we need to create an array of entries first (Something like: [[key1, value1], [key2, value2],...and so on]. Then the string will be key key1=value1&key2=value2. The values will also be properly encoded to replace space and special characters etc)
You can create a recursive function to get the nested entries. Loop through the entries of the given object. If the current value is an Array, recursively call the method for each object in the array and push it to entries. If the value is an object, recursively call the function on the value. This function will return a 2-dimensional array of all the key-value pairs in the object.
Then simply pass the entries to URLSearchParams to create the query string. If the query string is not empty, append it to the base URL with a prefix of ?.

function createURL({ scheme, server, path = '', ...rest }) {
  let url = `${scheme}://${server}/${path}`;
  let param = new URLSearchParams(getEntries(rest)).toString();
  if (param)
    url += "?" + param;
  return url
}

function getEntries(o = {}) {
  const entries = [];
  for (const [k, v] of Object.entries(o)) {
    if (Array.isArray(v))
      entries.push(...v.flatMap(getEntries))
    else if (typeof v === 'object')
      entries.push(...getEntries(v))
    else entries.push([k, v])
  }
  return entries;
}

console.log(createURL({
  scheme: "https",
  server: "example.com"
}))

console.log(createURL({
  scheme: "https",
  server: "example.com",
  path: "items",
  item: "apple",
  "itemDetails": [{
    "country": "US",
    "year": "2019"
  }]
}))

Maybe is not the best way, but you can try

var myjson = {
       scheme:https,
       server:example.com
};

    var obj = JSON.parse(myjson);
    document.getElementById("#div1").innerHTML = obj.scheme + obj.server;
