Question

Answer 1

The value you are trying to parse is wrapped in brackets [], which means it is an array. You are trying to eval an array. Try to eval the first element of the array, and it should work...

var json = eval("("+data[0]+");");

Also, I would recommend using the JSON.parse() provided here instead of calling eval() directly.
