Hi Qing,

 

It is possible to get the response as a JSON object. To do so, you will want to append the following query string paramter to your request:

 

xslt=json.xsl


For example, to get the JSON object for a message you can use the following call:

http://<your community url>/<your community id>/restapi/vc/messages/id/2776?xslt=json.xsl

I hope this helps!

      Hello Guys,


      Thanks all the help so far. We have kind of prove of concept of Federated search in RightNow page. 

       

      In order to complete the Function, I would like to know the return JSON object length. Does Lithium has a standard way to get "length" of JSON object, or i have to create a Function by myself, like:

       

      Function countProperties(obj) {
  var prop;
  var propCount = 0;
  
  for (prop in obj) {
    propCount++;
  }
  return propCount;
}

       

       

      Thanks.

        Hello Guys,

        I have found that RightNow has a standard JSON.parse function. So, I can convert JSON into arrays, and get the length

        like
        var decodedStr = RightNow.JSON.parse(o.responseText);
        var newdata=decodedStr.response
        var length= newdata.messages.message.length;

        Thanks
