How to set encoding in .getJSON jQuery
If you want to use $.getJSON()
you can add the following before the call :
$.ajaxSetup({
scriptCharset: "utf-8",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8"
});
You can use the charset you want instead of utf-8
.
The options are explained here.
contentType :
When sending data to the server, use this content-type
. Default is application/x-www-form-urlencoded
, which is fine for most cases.
scriptCharset :
Only for requests with jsonp
or script
dataType and GET type. Forces the request to be interpreted as a certain charset. Only needed for charset differences between the remote and local content.
You may need one or both ...
I think that you'll probably have to use $.ajax()
if you want to change the encoding, see the contentType
param below (the success
and error
callbacks assume you have <div id="success"></div>
and <div id="error"></div>
in the html):
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "SomePage.aspx/GetSomeObjects",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
data: "{id: '" + someId + "'}",
success: function(json) {
$("#success").html("json.length=" + json.length);
itemAddCallback(json);
},
error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
$("#error").html(xhr.responseText);
}
});
I actually just had to do this about an hour ago, what a coincidence!
