Get the length of jQquery Ajax Response

Question

I need to count the length of an Ajax response done in jQuery. The response is in JSON format and only contains a single string. I get the value but have no idea how to coun

Answer 1

If you know the response is not an object then

success: function(response) {
    if(response){       
      alert( (response + '').length );
    }
}

will work well.

but if response will be in the form of Object like

[{name:'some-name',details:[....something]}]

I would suggest use below code

success: function(response) {
     length=0;
     if(response){       
        length=JSON.stringify(response).length;
     }
    console.log(length)
}

I think this code will work like a charm for you.
