阅读Ajax中的HTTPResponse吗？

Question

I would like to send a simple HTTPResponse from Django. My code ist the following:

   jsonMessage = {
        "message": "Works",
    }
    return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(jsonMessage), mimetype='application/json')

At the client I just get HTML Code and do not know how to handle it. I guess that the client is the problem. My code:

$.ajax({
    'url': path,
    'type': method,
    'data': data,
    'cache': false,
    'processData': false,
    'contentType': false,
    'headers': {
            'X-CSRFToken': $.cookie('csrftoken')
        },
    'success': function(data) {
    },

}).done(function(response,status, jqXHR ) {
    alert(response);
  });

The server side works well. But the response is HTML Code not the text I would like to get. I tried also response.message. But this is undefined. I think that I should parse the JSON Code. But I am not sure where it is delivered.Hope you can help me,

Please make sure that the path to your views.py function call is correct,

$.ajax({
                 type:"GET",
                 url:"/djangoapp/djangomethod",
                 contentType:'application/json; charset=utf-8'
             }).done(function(msg){
                 console.log(msg.message);

               })
               .fail(function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown){
                 console.log('failed');         
               });
            }
