During my attempts to load a specific Json using an Ajax GET request and then parsing it, I encountered an issue when trying to access the Json key from an HTML script tag, as it returned as undefined.
To troubleshoot this problem, I decided to log all the keys of the Json in the console, along with the Json itself. To do this, I implemented the following function:
function getInventory() {
$.get( "/inventory/", function( data ) {
var inventoryList = data.split(",, "); // Explanation is provided below
console.log(inventoryList[0]); // Just testing with the first object
console.log(Object.keys(inventoryList[0]));
});
}
getInventory();
Purpose of the `data.split(",, ")` method:
Due to the use of a different programming language in the backend script, I had to transform the output to a format suitable for Javascript. Additionally, there were multiple Json objects, so I separated them using `",, "` and then split them in JavaScript to create a list of Json objects.
After executing the function, the following output was displayed:

Interestingly, pasting the Json object into the console resulted in a different output, as shown here:

This discrepancy raised questions about why the script tag did not allow access to the object's keys while manual input in the console did. Could it be that `inventoryList[0]` is not actually a Json object within the script tag? Thank you for any insights!
