All you gotta do, its tell the Ajax call that you're receiving data type "json". In other words...

$.ajax({
   url: "external_file",
   method:"post",
   dataType: "json",  // **************** Note dataType****************
   success:function(response){
       console.log(response)
       // Response will be a javascript array, instead of a string.
   },
   error: function(){
       alert('something went wrong.')
   }
})
