jqGrid from USGS geojson data

Question

I\'m trying to read and post in a jqGrid a set of earthquakes GeoJSON data extracted from USGS repository. The request is accepted, but displays \"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unex

Answer 1

I looked in the documentation of geojson and I think I found the reason of the problem. It seems that GeoJSON(P) uses eqfeed_callback as callback name (see here). So I fixed some options of jqGrid which you used to the following:

url: 'http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/geojsonp/2.5/week',
datatype: 'jsonp',
postData: '',
ajaxGridOptions: { jsonp: false, jsonpCallback: 'eqfeed_callback', cache: true},

The modified demo works now and display the results like below

UPDATE: The modified demo uses new URLs of GeoJSON and new version (4.14.1) of free jqGrid.
