Accessing json data passed in string form

Question

I am passing data from php in json format, how do I access it?

This is the result:

{"solctype":"Long Term Agreement","checkbox":"1","prnumber":"356363563"}

I have tried

$.post("getgrid?id="+id,
{
},
function(data, status){
 console.log(data.solctype);
});

This always returns undefined

You need to parse the string data and convert it to a JavaScript object.

Use something like this:

 var stringData = {"solctype":"Long Term Agreement","checkbox":"1","prnumber":"356363563"};
 var parsedData = JSON.parse(stringData);
 console.log(parsedData.solctype)
