How to get Json data to html using jQuery

Question

Alright guys, I'm fairly new to Json, so sorry if this doesn't make alot of sense..

I'm trying to retrieve data from a json file to display in a html document using jQuery. I've been able to console.log the raw json data with this code:

$(document).ready(function ($) {
    $.getJSON("http://mtgjson.com/json/AllSets.json",    function (data) {
        console.log(data);
    });
});

Wich gives me the following data.

enter image description here

I'm trying to make an <ul> and put all the data 'name' into the <li> using jQuery. So I end up with a huge list of names. I've been searching for the past 3 hours and haven't found anything that can help me. So any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend reading w3schools.com/json/json_syntax.asp to further understand how to access JSON properties — athms

Something like this

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $.getJSON("http://mtgjson.com/json/AllSets.json",    function (data) {

        var ul = $('<ul />');

        $.each(data, function(key, value) {
            ul.append(  $('<li />', {text: value.name})  );
        });

        $('body').append(ul);
    });
});

FIDDLE

Thank you, that's what I was looking for. I'll dig into the 'each', 'key' and 'value' attributes and see if I can get some more info on this subject. Thank you for the help!

A point to start could be this:

$.getJSON("http://mtgjson.com/json/AllSets.json",    function (data) {
   $.each(data, function(key, value){
    console.log(key, value);
  });
});
