First off, I am a newcomer to the Javascript realm. I have a JSON file, such as the following:
{markers: [
{
abbreviation: SPA,
latitude:-13.32,
longitude:-89.99,
markerImage: flags/us.png,
information: South Pole,
},
.... lots more of these in between ....
{
abbreviation: ALE,
latitude:-62.5,
longitude:82.5,
markerImage: flags/us.png,
information: Alert,
},
] }
I have been doing a lot of research as to how I can bring this file back into my script only to find ways to encode strings into JSON files. Basically, I want to read this file through javascript, something like this... (I know this isn't how you code)
object data = filename.json
document.write(data.markers.abbreviation[1])
Can someone please give me clear instruction on how to go about doing this. Remember, I am a newcomer and need specifics since I'm not up to par with the javascript jargon.
