Do I have to use JSON. parse () when I am accessing data from an api using ajax(jQuery)?

Answer 1

I haven't used it here and it's still working. Toni Isotalo can you tell me why is it so?

Answer 2

Apparently it depends on the content type of the api. Most API content types are application/json you don't need to parse it. But if there's no content type header set it's a string.

Answer 3

JSON.stringify usually works well (depending on the data). here is an example.

Answer 4

you can parse the json in backend and return the data in succes: inside ajax call and there you can play with it. i think this is what you need?
