How to get the data inside a JSON object in jquery

Question

I want to retrieve the data inside a JSON object, but when I tried to alert it, or log it, I got [Object Object] or undefined. Say I'm getting the json object in a div with id = "page". This's what I did:

console.log($("#page").val()); //gives undefined
console.log($("#page").toString()); // gives [Object Object]

I'm getting the JSON object inside a div I introduced

<div id="page"></div>

From here I was trying to get the JSON object.

So how do I get the data inside this object?

$("#page")[0]? $("#page") is jQuery object, so toString() on it gives [Object object] — Tushar

You can see the data inside this object with : JSON.stringify($("#page")) — R3tep

To log the object of an DOM element simply:

console.log($("#page"));

To get the HTML content of it:

console.log($("#page").html());
