Question

I thought result will be a json object if the response header includes application/json,

$.get(...,function(result){
    //here result is a json object
});

But today I tried a earlier version of jQuery,found result is a string.

So is it true that jQuery 1.6 automatically converts the result to object(eval("("+result+")")) for me?

UPDATE

Here’s the related header,but it turns out I have to eval it manually:

X-Content-Type-Options  nosniff
Content-Type    application/json; charset=EUC-JP

UPDATE

No doubt now,it’s confirmed.
