I trying to display top ten trending twitter topics in my webpage.I have used twitter get/trends API with php. I used ajax call to php on my homepage and it returns json_encoded result in json format.
The json format looks like this
[ { "trends": [ { "name": "#MukhangPeraAngPilipinas", "query": "%23MukhangPeraAngPilipinas", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23MukhangPeraAngPilipinas", "promoted_content": null }, { "name": "#FelizDiaDelPadre", "query": "%23FelizDiaDelPadre", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23FelizDiaDelPadre", "promoted_content": null }, { "name": "#BeforeTwitterI", "query": "%23BeforeTwitterI", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23BeforeTwitterI", "promoted_content": null }, { "name": "#BDMELODI_164", "query": "%23BDMELODI_164", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23BDMELODI_164", "promoted_content": null }, { "name": "#\u00d6nSe\u00e7imeGirenTekLider", "query": "%23%C3%96nSe%C3%A7imeGirenTekLider", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23%C3%96nSe%C3%A7imeGirenTekLider", "promoted_content": null }, { "name": "T\u00fanez", "query": "T%C3%BAnez", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=T%C3%BAnez", "promoted_content": null }, { "name": "Nasir Hossain", "query": "%22Nasir+Hossain%22", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%22Nasir+Hossain%22", "promoted_content": null }, { "name": "Dwight Walker", "query": "%22Dwight+Walker%22", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%22Dwight+Walker%22", "promoted_content": null }, { "name": "\u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0639", "query": "%22%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%B1+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B9%22", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%22%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%B1+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B9%22", "promoted_content": null }, { "name": "\u0635\u0648\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0637\u0631", "query": "%22%D8%B5%D9%88%D8%AA+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B7%D8%B1%22", "url": "http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%22%D8%B5%D9%88%D8%AA+%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B7%D8%B1%22", "promoted_content": null } ], "as_of": "2015-03-19T11:19:49Z", "created_at": "2015-03-19T11:15:05Z", "locations": [ { "name": "Worldwide", "woeid": 1 } ] } ]

Have a closer look at the returned JSON.
