I am new to web development, and I am using a XMLHttpRequest() in JavaScript to get data from an api. I am trying to create variables from the data but am getting an error when I try to do the following. Does anyone know what is wrong with the line var data1 = data["data1"];?
<script>
const Http = new XMLHttpRequest();
const url = "www.mytestapi.com/response.json";
Http.open("GET", url);
Http.send();
Http.onreadystatechange = (e) => {
var json = JSON.parse(Http.responseText)
var data = json.Data
var data1 = data["data1"]; //issue caused here
}
<script>
you don't need to parse response data, data is parsed already , try this
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
const url = "www.mytestapi.com/response.json";
xhr.open('GET', url);
xhr.responseType = 'json';
xhr.onload = () => {
console.log("load - "+ JSON.stringify(xhr.response));
var data = xhr.response;
var data1 = data["data1"]
}
xhr.onerror = () => {
console.log("error status - " + xhr.status);
}
xhr.send()
