json格式问题中的ajax返回值

Question

I am using some jQuery post request, as so

$.post('url', {data: some_data}, function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
   console.log(data);  //to debug
   console.log(data.status == "ok");  //to debug
   ....
});

the url hits some php method which returns with

 echo json_encode(array('status' => 'ok'));
 exit;

the problem is that console.log(data) returns {"status":"ok"} but console.log(data.status == "ok"); throws false. How can it be ?

Answer 1

$.post() return only one object

$.post('url', {data: some_data}, function(data) {
   data = JSON.parse(data);//convert into JSON if data in string format
   console.log(data);  //to debug
   console.log(data.status == "ok");  //to debug
  ....
});
