Accessing different elements in an array returned from a WebMethod

Question

I have a WebMethod which returns a string of array:

[WebMethod]
public static string[] GetDataFromServer()
{
    return new string[] { "one", "two", "three" };
}

I am calling the WebMethod using the following code:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "MyPage.aspx/GetDataFromServer",
    data: "{}",
    success: function (msg) {
        alert(msg.d);
    },
    error: function (x, e) {
        alert("The call to the server side failed. " + x.responseText);
    }
});

Since the WebMethod is returning an array of string, when calling alert(msg.d);, I am getting all the elements of the array seperated by a ,. I understand that I can split the msg.d by the , seperator but I don't think that it is good practice. How can I access the different elements in the resulting array by index?

You should just be able to use msg.d[0], for example to get the first item in the array.
