Answer 1

You're right -- your JSON is an array which contains a single object. You're expecting just that object.

Try modifying your code like so:

success: function (data) {
  data = data[0]; 

Answer 2

I simply suggest you instead of using any other method you can use :

success: function (data, status, xhr) {
    var jsonArray = JSON.parse(data);  // Normal way
}

Other way

success: function (data, status, xhr) {
    var jsonArray = $.parseJSON(data); // using jQuery
}

In this way it will be converted to a simple JavaScript object which you can easily manipulate on your UI/DOM.
