You don't need the $.parseJSON call as jQuery automatically does it because if you don't specify a dataType property jQuery tries to guess it and calls the correct function to parse the response before the data is handled to the success function

   $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url:$(this).attr('action'),
        data:$(this).serialize(),
        success:function(data)
        {
          //console.log("SUCCESS " + data);
          var json_cli = data;
        }
    })
