JSON.parse: unexpected character?

Question

I am using the jQuery getJSON method, but the returned data from a Python Django view causes the error JSON.parse: unexpected character

Below is the JSON structure:

OK[
   {
      "status":"FINISHED",
      "transcoded_file_link":"/download_xml_file/5",
      "name":"uploads/vid2.avi",
      "original_file_link":"/download_file/uploads/vid2.avi"
   },
   {
      "status":"FINISHED",
      "transcoded_file_link":"/download_xml_file/6",
      "name":"uploads/vid2_1.avi",
      "original_file_link":"/download_file/uploads/vid2_1.avi"
   },
   {
      "status":"FINISHED",
      "transcoded_file_link":"/download_xml_file/7",
      "name":"uploads/vid2_2.avi",
      "original_file_link":"/download_file/uploads/vid2_2.avi"
   }
]

That 'OK' at the beginning of your string is causing an error. — Eternal1

As per the comments provided the problem is with that 'OK' at the beginning.

Use like below part only with out 'OK'

[{"status": "FINISHED", "transcoded_file_link": "/download_xml_file/5", "name": "uploads/vid2.avi", "original_file_link": "/download_file/uploads/vid2.avi"}, {"status": "FINISHED", "transcoded_file_link": "/download_xml_file/6", "name": "uploads/vid2_1.avi", "original_file_link": "/download_file/uploads/vid2_1.avi"}, {"status": "FINISHED", "transcoded_file_link": "/download_xml_file/7", "name": "uploads/vid2_2.avi", "original_file_link": "/download_file/uploads/vid2_2.avi"}]
