Question

A dumb question, I know. But I have a problem. From a server I make a js call and always get the response in div tags encapsulated .

But the response is in JSON form
so we have response variable data

data="<div> json_string_here</div>";

so how can i from it get only json_string_here, and with not an escaped strings????

Answer 1

If the data returned is a string, you can use the following to extract the JSON and put it into an object

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON($(data).html());
