无法将 jquery ajax 响应转换为数组 javascript

Question

I have an API which returns an array of format:

[
  {
    "abc": "def",
    "efg": "hij"
  },
  {
    "abc": "def",
    "efg": "hij"
  }
]

When I hit the service with jquery.ajax I am able to get a response

$.ajax({
url: URL,
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'JSON',
xhrFields: {
withCredentials: false
},
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
},
error: function (request, error) {});

On java script when I try to check the data type of data it is of type Object. When I directly print data on console

0: Object { "abc": "def", "egf":"ghi " }​​
​
1: Object { "abc": "def", "egf":"ghi " }​​

Where as when I print with knockout.toJSON(data) or JSON.stringify(data) it returns

[
  {
    "abc": "def",
    "efg": "hij"
  },
  {
    "abc": "def",
    "efg": "hij"
  }
]

However I am unable to convert the response into array as I want it to be an array.

I even tried JSON.parse on the knockout.JSON(data), JSON.stringify(data), and directly on data but it fails.

What is the best way to convert this to an array.

Answer 1

JS has primitive data types and Objects ,since Array is not a primitive its typeof will return Object .

You can treat your response as an array in your code,no conversion is needed.
