Answer 1

Try changing dataType to JSON:

$.ajax({
    dataType: 'JSON',
    url: '/_/js/answers.json',
    type: "GET",
    success: function (data) {
        alert(data);
        alert(data.code);
        var result = JSON.parse(data);
        var hey = JSON.parse('{"code": 123}'); 
        alert(hey.code);
        alert(result.code);
    },
    error: function () {
        alert("code not found");
    }
});
