SharePoint CAML Query through jQuery

I was just digging into my code snippet, and I thought this worth to share. I got the sample code where we can query using CAML in jQuery.

After a few tests, it’s still valid to be used. Here it is!


var DocLibName = "Shared Documents";
var camlQry = 
	"<View Scope='RecursiveAll'>" +
		"<Query>" +
			"<Where>" +
				"<And>" +
					"<Leq>" +
						"<FieldRef Name='Created'/>" +
						"<Value Type='DateTime'><Today /></Value>" +
					"</Leq>" +
					"<Eq>" +
						"<FieldRef Name='FSObjType'/>" +
						"<Value Type='Integer'>0</Value>" +
					"</Eq>" +
				"</And>" + 
			"</Where>" +
		"</Query>" +
	"</View>";
var requestData = { "query" :
	{ "__metadata" :
		{ "type" : "SP.CamlQuery" },
		"ViewXml" : camlQry
	}
};
$.ajax({
	url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('" + DocLibName + "')/GetItems?$expand=FieldValuesAsText",
	method: "POST",
	async: false,
	data: JSON.stringify(requestData),
	headers: {
		"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
		"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
		"Content-Type": "application/json; odata=verbose"
	},
	success : function(d) {
		$.each(d.d.results, function (iRow, vRow) {
			//do your own processing here
		});
	}, error : function(a, b, c) {
		console.log(a);
		console.log(b);
		console.log(c);
	}
});

Enjoy!
