Accessing JSON data via jQuery

Question

The following is returned through the variable data.

{"success":0,"errors":[],"field_errors":{"title":"This field is required.","url_title":"This field is required.","field_id_9":"This field is required.","field_id_229":"This field is required.","testimonial_import_id":"This field is required.","testimonial_display":"This field is required."},"entry_id":null,"url_title":null,"channel_id":"4"}

I am unable to access individual items.

I have tried:

data.success
data[0]
data[0].success

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

How would I tell? I am returning it directly into a function, so i think object. — ccdavies

You need to parse the JSON string using JSON.parse method for converting it to JavaScript object.

JSON.parse(data).success
