TypeError: data.forEach is not a function

Question

This is my code:

$.ajax({
    url: \"some_url/\",
    type: \"GET\",
    dataType: \"json\",
    success: function(data){
        console.log(data);
                 


        

Answer 1

Change your success function to this, the JSON.parse() function is required to iterate over the JSON string:

success: function(data){
        data = JSON.parse(data);
        console.log(data);
        data.forEach(function(element){
            console.log(element);
        });
