JSON is a file format that is mostly used to transfer the data/information between servers and web applications. JavaScript and jQuery refer to the implementation of the JavaScript programming language. jQuery is a feature-rich JavaScript library that executes the code in less time as compared to full JavaScript code. jQuery interacts with the HTML DOM to manipulate the HTML elements. This
article provides a procedural guide to converting JSON data to an HTML table using JavaScript/jQuery. Firstly, of all, a document form is created with <form> tag, in which an HTML table is created with <table> tag. After that, a JavaScript library is imported to employ the built-in features of jQuery. Finally, the JSON data is converted to the formatted table in the HTML document using
JavaScript/jQuery. To practice this functionality, we have provided a detailed example here. For a better understanding, the example code is divided into four chunks. These chunks are referred to as a particular section. Let’s dig into them: <html> <head>
<h2> An example to convert json data to html table using jquery</h2> <form id="form1" ><div> <table id="htmltable" border="1" cellpadding="3" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> </table></div></form></body> </html> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> In the code:
Section 2: Inserting elements in the List$(function
() { The description of this piece of code is provided below:
Section 3: Inserting key values for append data in HTML tablefunctionaddcols(list)
{ The description of the above code is provided below:
Section 4: Convert the JSON data into an HTML tablefunction htmltable(list) { var cols = addcols(list); for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) { var row = $('<tr/>'); for (var colIndex = 0; colIndex < cols.length; colIndex++) { var cv = list[i][cols[colIndex]]; if (cv == null) { cv = ""; } row.append($('<td/>').html(cv));} $("#htmltable").append(row);}} </script></head><body> The description of this piece of code is given below.
Output The output returns the execution of all the above sections of code in an HTML table. The Name, Education, and Location are represented in the header. Moreover, different values for these headers are presented in the table. ConclusionThe JSON data is converted into an HTML table by employing JavaScript/jQuery. jQuery has features of the JavaScript library that can be embedded in any JavaScript file. In this post, you have learned to convert the JSON data to an HTML table using JavaScript/jQuery. The JSON data is structured in such a way that the keys in JSON data are converted into the headers of the table, and the values in the JSON data are converted into entries in a table.
