Question

I have a Service which returns JSON using C#’s JavaScriptSerializer class.

jQuery

        $.get('GlobalService/Index',
            { crudOperation: crudOperation,
                globalType: globalType,
                globalObject: globalObject
            },
            function (data) {
                alert(data);
            });

the callback function displays in the alert

[object XMLDocument]

How do I get to and parse the JSON object? The object has basic construction

{"field1":"data","field2":"more data",/*...~10 more of these*/}

Answer 1

$.get('GlobalService/Index',
{ 
    crudOperation: crudOperation,
    globalType: globalType,
    globalObject: globalObject
},
function (data) {
    // access it as you would normally access a JS object
    alert(data.field1);
}, 
'json'); // do not forget to pass the json data type here, otherwise it 
         // will just guess it (probably wrong, as it shows in your case)
