Showing JSON in html with javascript

i am new with JSON. I am using a api which using JSON for response. I am calling the api url by simple xhr method. The code is working and i am getting 200 status but

how do i able to retrieve the JSON in the html?

I was able to show the JSON by printing xhr.responseText in innerHTML. But i need to show the data so i can use them in html.

Can you suggest how i can present the data in html when i have the json data in xhr.responseText.

Please let me know if you need more info.

Can anyone guide me how to do it via jquery also?

If you add JSON2.js (from https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js) to your page, then you can parse the JSON into a JavaScript object by using:

var parsedData = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);

If you completely trust your JSON source, you can also do it very quickly and without using JSON2.js by simply evaling it thus:

var parsedData = eval('(' + xhr.responseText + ')');

but this will run any code embedded in the response and so isn't secure and generally wouldn't be recommended.
