Making a tree map with JSON data (Highcharts) - php

Question

I am trying to bring data from the database to this Highcharts tree map, I have no idea how to format the JSON part of the code. When there is a clear xAxis and yAxis it is relatively easy. We use a php assembler to get all of the data from the query. I took the code straight from a Highcharts column chart with JSON that was working normally, I tried myself to update it and it keeps telling me the $.getJSON bit is an unexpected identifier.
$(function () {
// Drop-in fix:
Highcharts.seriesTypes.treemap.prototype.getExtremesFromAll = true;
$('#container').highcharts({
colorAxis: {
minColor: ' #000000',
maxColor: '#ffffff'
},
tooltip: {
backgroundColor: '#fffff',
formatter: function () {
return this.point.name + ":" + this.point.value;
}
}
$.getJSON("/charts/data/homepage-charts-data.php?<?php echo $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; ?>", function(json) {
options.categories = json[0]['data'];
options.series[0] = json[1];
chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
});
});
The code that formats the data (from: /charts/data/homepage-charts-data.php)
function displayJsonHomepageBallotMeasuresDataChart ($aaQuery) {
global $NIMSPv4;
$result = $NIMSPv4->query("$aaQuery");
$categories = array();
$categories['name'] = 'Election_Jurisdiction';
$series = array();
$series['name'] = 'Total_$';
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$categories['data'][] = $row['Election_Jurisdiction'];
$series['data'][] = $row['Total_$'];
}
$result = array();
array_push($result,$categories);
array_push($result,$series);
print json_encode($result, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
} // END CHART FUNCTION
Update: Here is the JSON I am trying to pull data from. Election_Jurisdiction and Total_$ is what I am trying to access for now, Candidate and Office_Sought could also be brought down as well considering it is a tree map and I will need to show the race.
