Adding text to links that is represented in a JSON list - D3.js tree layout

I have the following code , and i'm trying to append text to my links (i need to represent country names on top of the link), notice that the text is embedded within a json list, and that's why i think i cant get it into my links:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

    <title>Collapsible Tree Example</title>

    <style>
    .node circle {
      fill: #fff;
      stroke: steelblue;
      stroke-width: 3px;
    }
    .node text { font: 12px sans-serif; }
    .link {
      fill: none;
      stroke: #ccc;
      stroke-width: 2px;
    }

    </style>

  </head>

  <body>

<!-- load the d3.js library --> 
<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script>

<script>
var treeData = [
  {"name":["1"],"weights":["17284"],"variableNames":["Country name"],"criteria":
  {"levels":["","Brazil","Canada","France","Germany","Spain","Turkey","United Kingdom","United States"]},
  "children":[{"name":["2"],"weights":["5920"],"variableNames":["Country name"],
  "criteria":{"levels":["","Brazil","Canada","France","Germany","Spain","Turkey","United Kingdom","United States"]},
  "children":[{"name":["3 "],"weights":["604"],"prediction":["0.256"]},{"name":["4 "],"weights":["5316"],"prediction":["0.231"]}],"prediction":["0.233"]},{"name":["5"],"weights":["11364"],
  "variableNames":["Country name"],"criteria":{"levels":["","Brazil","Canada","France","Germany","Spain","Turkey","United Kingdom","United States"]},
  "children":[{"name":["6 "],"weights":["10029"],"prediction":["0.153"]},{"name":["7 "],"weights":["1335"],
  "prediction":["0.053"]}],"prediction":["0.141"]}],"prediction":["0.173"]} 
];
// ************** Generate the tree diagram  *****************
var margin = {top: 20, right: 120, bottom: 20, left: 120},
    width = 960 - margin.right - margin.left,
    height = 500 - margin.top - margin.bottom;

var i = 0;
var tree = d3.layout.tree()
    .size([height, width]);
var diagonal = d3.svg.diagonal()
    .projection(function(d) { return [d.y, d.x]; });
var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
    .attr("width", width + margin.right + margin.left)
    .attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
  .append("g")
    .attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
root = treeData[0];

update(root);
function update(source) {
  // Compute the new tree layout.
  var nodes = tree.nodes(root).reverse(),
      links = tree.links(nodes);
  // Normalize for fixed-depth.
  nodes.forEach(function(d) { d.y = d.depth * 180; });
  // Declare the nodes…
  var node = svg.selectAll("g.node")
      .data(nodes, function(d) { return d.id || (d.id = ++i); });
  // Enter the nodes.
  var nodeEnter = node.enter().append("g")
      .attr("class", "node")
      .attr("transform", function(d) { 
          return "translate(" + d.y + "," + d.x + ")"; });
  nodeEnter.append("circle")
      .attr("r", 10)
      .style("fill", "#fff");

  nodeEnter.append("text")
      .attr("x", function(d) { 
          return d.children || d._children ? -13 : 13; })
      .attr("dy", ".35em")
      .attr("text-anchor", function(d) { 
          return d.children || d._children ? "end" : "start"; })
      .text(function(d) { return d.name; })
      .style("fill-opacity", 1);


  // Declare the links…
  var link = svg.selectAll("path.link")
      .data(links, function(d) { return d.target.id; });
  // Enter the links.
  link.enter().insert("path", "g")
      .attr("class", "link")
      .attr("d", diagonal);

link.append("text")
      .attr("x", function(d) { 
          return d.children || d._children ? -13 : 13; })
      .attr("dy", ".35em")
      .attr("text-anchor", function(d) { 
          return d.children || d._children ? "end" : "start"; })
      .text(function(d) { return d.source.criteria.levels; }) // also tried d.source.criteria
      .style("fill-opacity", 1);
}
</script>

  </body>
</html>

I tried to get help from other questions like this one: Adding text labels to force directed graph links in d3.js

But couldn't find any question that had an embedded list.

Thanks in Advance!!

The key is that you define the links setup just like the nodes, i.e. build a g that contains the path and the text. In your example, the text ends up in the path elements, respectively.

So this is key:

var linkG = link.enter()
  .append('g')
  .attr('class', 'link');

Here's a fiddle

(I changed a few bit here and there as well... not that I wasn't sure what texts you want to display)
