Hi Hanwen!

Happy Easter (if that something you celebrate)!!! (I spent today visiting my mom!?!)

In this case, JSON.parse() will return an array of employee objects.

Then, your objective is to convert that array into HTML that can be displayed on the page.

var statusHTML = '<ul class="bulleted">' starts building an HTML string. which will later be imbedded in the webpage.

And, also, in this case, you are constructing an unordered list.

I'm hoping that's enough info to move you forward.

If not, let me know and I will show you more.

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
