JSON syntax compatibility about leaflet-layerjson HOT 5 CLOSED

Ok, I found a way :

function getJson(url) {
 return JSON.parse($.ajax({
     type: 'GET',
     url: url,
     dataType: 'json',
     global: false,
     async:false,
     success: function(data) {
         return data;
     }
 }).responseText);
}
// set here the instance id 
var settlements = getJson('http://data.unhcr.org/api/population/settlements.json?instance_id=car');

sett_markers = L.layerJSON({
        caching: false,             
        callData: function(bbox, callback) {        
                rData = [];                             
            for(var i in settlements)
                rData.push({loc: L.latLng(settlements[i].latitude,settlements[i].longitude),name:settlements[i].name, pop:settlements[i].population});
            callback(rData);
        },
        dataToMarker: function(settlements, loc) {  
            return L.marker(loc).bindPopup("name:"+settlements.name);
        },
     }
);

I store the JSON in a variable using AJAX and JSON.parse then I use your plugin to display the markers following this example : http://labs.easyblog.it/maps/leaflet-layerjson/examples/calldata.html

Thanks again for this very usefull plugin ;)

I think that if your API do not support bbox requests.. and you have fixed number of items, this plugin is not more useful... but you can arrange with few smart options, without jQuery, see here:

I indeed prefer your way, it only uses one variable and i like your popup template :p

Thanks again,

@l-martine do you work in UNHCR? Can I publish that example in my site?

I'm working for CartONG (http://www.cartong.org), a french NGO that does GIS, mapping and mobile data collection services for other NGO's and UN Agencies like the UNHCR.

Yes, of course, you can publish it on your website, it's your code and the API is public ;)
