Reading and parsing ... /arcgis/rest/services?f=json

DonBarker

I'd like to write a Javascript function that reads the ArcGIS Server catalog here

http://129.2.24.163/arcgis/rest/services?f=json

in order to insert the map service names into HTML table rows.

Can someone point me to online help specifically for reading and parsing the JSON object that's returned by the above URL?

Thanks,

You can use esri.request to get this information. Here's a sample that gets the info and writes it out to the page.

   function init() {

      
     var  baseURL = "http://129.2.24.163/arcgis/rest/services";
        esri.request({
          url:baseURL, 
          content:{f:"json"},
          callbackParamName:"callback",
          load:getServiceDetails, 
          error:esriConfig.defaults.io.errorHandler
        });
      }
      
    function getServiceDetails(response,args){
      var info = [];
      dojo.forEach(response.folders,function(folder){
        info.push("Folder: " +  folder + "<br/>");        
      });
      dojo.forEach(response.services, function(service){
        info.push("Service Details: " + service.name + " " + service.type + "<br/>");
      });

     dojo.byId('serviceDetails').innerHTML = info.join("");
    }
      dojo.addOnLoad(init);
