(Meder's response will work if you are comfortable with JSON, but regular expressions are probably a little easier and will work just as well for this.)

You will probably need to break up the response text using regular expressions. For example, if the response text is:

First timer visiting our site eh'

Then you could use some JavaScript like this:

var greeting = response_text.match(/
.*
/);
var something = response_text.match(/
.*
);
