Parsing a single object JSON response

Question

I have a JSON response like this

"3928593-236523632-2353253"

after posting some data to a api.

I am trying to assign that response to a variable.

For example var x = data; (where data is the variable set for the https response in a request call)

but this is giving a error

Now usually i would expect something like

[{test: '2352532352352'}]

and i could of cousre go var x = data.test;

When its not like this, how can i attribute the data to a variable?

Thanks

Hi Nishanth, it gives me the error that the variable is not defined. — user2058234

Sounds like your just getting a JSON encoded string back as the response, which is totally valid JSON.

let response = JSON.parse('"3928593-236523632-2353253"');

and now

response === "3928593-236523632-2353253"
