Answer 1

As ultimately suggested by this other answer and it's comments on this page:

error: function(xhr, status, error) {
  var err = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
  alert(err.Message);
}

Answer 2

For me, this simply works:

error: function(xhr, status, error) {
  alert(xhr.responseText);
}

Answer 3

I used this, and it worked perfectly.

error: function(xhr, status, error){
     alertify.error(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText).error);
}

Answer 4

Try:

error: function(xhr, status, error) {
  var err = eval("(" + xhr.responseText + ")");
  alert(err.Message);
}

Answer 5

This is what worked for me

    function showErrorMessage(xhr, status, error) {
        if (xhr.responseText != "") {

            var jsonResponseText = $.parseJSON(xhr.responseText);
            var jsonResponseStatus = '';
            var message = '';
            $.each(jsonResponseText, function(name, val) {
                if (name == "ResponseStatus") {
                    jsonResponseStatus = $.parseJSON(JSON.stringify(val));
                     $.each(jsonResponseStatus, function(name2, val2) {
                         if (name2 == "Message") {
                             message = val2;
                         }
                     });
                }
            });

            alert(message);
        }
    }
