Ajax parse json string is returning undefined,

Question

I am sending a post data to get a json string back:

My JSON string:

{\"error\":false,\"success\":\"Added Website\",\"website_id\":\"12\"         


        

Answer 1

Try parsing your json string to a json object to get your values:

data = JSON.parse(data);

Answer 2

You haven't provided a dataType in your $.ajax, so AJAX treats the response as a string, not an object. So, inside the success function, do this first:

success: function(data) {
  data = JSON.parse(data);
