I’m using jQuery.get() to perform an AJAX call to a service.
My service returns a JSON object in this form

{
    "ip" : "127.0.0.1",
    "name" : "localhost"
}

That’s it (no html tags)

if I use jQuery.get() without specifying that my output is “json” (so leaving the 4th parameter empty) the output of the service is not automatically recognized as JSON.

Did I make any mistake in formatting the service output?

    The format of the output is correct.

    The result is most likely not returned with the content type application/json but for example text/html, which would lead jQuery to think that it’s not JSON.

    If the content type doesn’t match the data, you should specify the data type.
