JSON Object, undefined?

I'm trying to develop a web application using jQuery, AJAX and JSON. I have this code:

console.log(response.s);
if (response.s == true) {
    alert('good');
} else {
    alert('bad');
}

This response (via console.log() on Firebug) seems to be:

{"s":true}

Which seems to be a JSON object right? Well, the line console.log(response.s); on the first code I added here returns undefined. What's the proble开发者_运维技巧m?

What is typeof (response)? if it's a string then you have to parse it, first. (You'd be accessing the s field of a string, which doesn't exist, so JavaScript gives you undefined instead of throwing an Exception or whatever.)

If the content-type of the response isn't application/json then the javascript is probably assuming that it is just a string.

Supplying the correct content header should therefore sort your problem.

Alternatively you could probably use eval() to convert the string into a json object.

try to use:

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(response);
console.log(obj.s);

Hope it helps.
