JavaScript getting JSON string from Python server

Question

I'm not a JavaScript programmer, and I'm trying to dabble in jquery.

I know that if I have string in the form:

var myList=[{"Tank1": 45000, "Tank2": -10}, {"Tank1": 200, "Tank2": 435}]

the javascript code which I've copied can read it, and use it.

My question, is how do I get the same list as a variable "myList", when it comes from JSON. My python server code outputs JSON as:

[{"Tank1": 45000, "Tank2": -10}, {"Tank1": 200, "Tank2": 435}]

Could someone show me how I can read this into javascript as a variable "myList", please? Do I also need any specific .js libraries?

response from python server is stored in a variable too if u use $.ajax function — sharif2008, Jul 11 '13 at 10:11

You can use $.parseJSON function to make it json object using jQuery.

$.parseJSON('[{"Tank1": 45000, "Tank2": -10}, {"Tank1": 200, "Tank2": 435}]');

OR

$.parseJSON(varibleContainingJsonString);
