Getting json response from variable?

Question

If doing console.log(data) from inside a function that get passed the result of an AJAX request outputs

in the google chrome developer tools, I am wondering how I can get to the value of result? I think the entire response is being interpreted as a string? normally I would just use the dataType parameter, but I do not have control over this AJAX request.

It's part of the PLupload library so however that fetches it, I assume it's just a jQuery ajax request. this is the event binding for FileUploaded aka ` uploader.bind('FileUploaded', function (up, file, data) {...}` — Hailwood

data.response property contains an object that is serialized to JSON, so you have to unserialize it in this way:

var response = JSON.parse(data.response),
    result = response.result;

You're trying to parse the JSON:

 var data = JSON.parse(obj.response);
