In this article, we will select values from a JSON object and display them on the browser using jQuery. To select values from a JSON object to webpage, we use append() method.
This append() method in jQuery is used to insert some content at the end of the selected elements.
Syntax:
$(selector).append( content, function(index, html) )
Approach: First we store a JSON object containing (key, value) pair in a variable. We have created a button using <button> element and when we click the button, the jQuery function called with selector and click events. After click the button, the attr() method added the name attribute with <select> element. The <option> element is appended to each element using append() and each() methods.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>

{ "name": "GeeksforGeeks",
"text": "GeeksforGeeks" }
];
$('button').click(function () {
var select = $("<select></select>")
.attr("name", "cities");
$.each(json, function (index, json) {
select.append($("<option></option>")
.attr("value", json.name).text(json.text));
});
$("#GFG").html(select);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body style="text-align: center;">
<h1 style="color: green;">
GeeksforGeeks
</h1>
