I am trying to return an array of products using a get request. The response returns XML with a 200 request.

Web Service:

[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true, ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public List<product> GetAllProducts()
{
    using (SchulteDesignYourOwnEntities db = new SchulteDesignYourOwnEntities())
    {
        return db.products.ToList();
    }
}

Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <head>
        <title></title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function () {

                $.ajax({
                    url: 'http://www.organizeliving.com/designwebservice.asmx/GetAllProducts',
                    dataType: 'json',
                    success: function (result) {
                        alert("Result: " + result.length);
                    },
                    error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
                        console.log("Status: " + xhr.status);
                        console.log("Message: " + thrownError);
                    }
                });


            });
        </script>
    </head>

    You have the dataType as 'json'. jQuery will automatically try to parse JSON from the response. If it cannot, it considers it an error.

    XML is not valid JSON (it will really hate the opening <). You can either change the dataType to 'xml' (or nothing) or actually emit pure JSON from the server instead.
