How to parse this json with jQuery

Question

Hi i am new to json and have some problems in parsing a JSON file with jQuery.

json file is here - http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=27.88,78.08&sensor=false

and i am parsing it like this

var url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=" + area.getCenter().lat + "," + area.getCenter().lng + "&sensor=false";
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
    console.log("insidegetjson");
    console.log(data);
    var addr = data.results[0].formatted_address[0];
});

here i want to access first "formatted_address" part of the JSON. I know i am making a mistake here (i want "formatted_address" : "Achal Taal, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202001, India",)

var addr = data.results[0].formatted_address[0];

can you please replace this sentence with correct sentence...thanks

I went by them, and it states that var addr = data.results[0].formatted_address; should be correct. But i don't know whats wrong here(( @FelixKling — Wanna_be_Coder, Sep 01 '13 at 13:26
@dystroy I read the question. It's been asked many different ways before. — Scott Harwell, Sep 01 '13 at 16:08
@ScottHarwell Since the first iteration, OP was using $.getJSON — Denys Séguret, Sep 01 '13 at 16:12

Remove the last [0] :

var addr = data.results[0].formatted_address;

data.results[0].formatted_address isn't an array but a string.

I used data.results[0].formatted_address initially but it couldn't help. It shows UNDEFINED value. – Wanna_be_Coder Sep 01 '13 at 13:14
