jQuery.getJSON and jQuery.parseJSON return [object Object]?

Question

EDIT: I\'ve gotten the \"famous question\" badge with this question, so I figured I\'d come back to it and stick what happened to me right at the very tippy

Answer 1

jQuery.parseJSON will convert the json string into json object so alert(obj) will show you [object Object] since it is an object.

If you want to see what obj contains then use console.log(obj) and then check console log message.
