Maybe you need to send the correct HTTP header with your response. See here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/267546/correct-http-header-for-json-file

Answer 2

So I worked the code back and think this solution might work for you.

$.ajax({
  async: "false",
  type: 'POST',
  data: {
    action: 'var1',
    albumName: 'var2'
  },
  dataType: 'json',
  url: '/controller/function',
  success: function(data) {
    $.each(data, function(index, element) {
      console.log(index);
      console.log(element.fullURL);
      console.log(element);
    });
  }
});

I can't test the ajax event however I have tested out the json you provided with the each loop and it seams to work. LINK TO FIDDLE

var data = [{
    "caption": "",
        "fullURL": "https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--ZKG_L-SA9c/UgqECNqP4II/AAAAAAAAA2I/i5nCa3CvKqM/s912/2010raptor_firstdrive002_opt.jpg",
        "location": "",
        "program_instance_id": "a0Ji0000001pPO6EAM",
        "tags": "",
        "thumbURL": "https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--ZKG_L-SA9c/UgqECNqP4II/AAAAAAAAA2I/i5nCa3CvKqM/s128-c/2010raptor_firstdrive002_opt.jpg"
}, {
    "caption": "",
        "fullURL": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kyUg7_Rul90/UgqEDIu4DhI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/WF0BAEI7smo/s912/220px-Microchip_PIC24HJ32GP202.jpg",
        "location": "",
        "program_instance_id": "a0Ji0000001pPO6EAM",
        "tags": "",
        "thumbURL": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kyUg7_Rul90/UgqEDIu4DhI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/WF0BAEI7smo/s128-c/220px-Microchip_PIC24HJ32GP202.jpg"
}];

$.each(data, function (index, element) {
    console.log(index);
    console.log(element.fullURL);
});

also good news is that your json is 100% valid so what is being passed back seams correct. Hope this helps

The variable parsed at your $.each function is not defined. you should use data instead of parsed as data is the variable at your success callback function.

$.each(data, function(i, index) {
    alert(index.fullURL);
    });
