want to parse items json from above response

Answer 1

use the following code to get a javascript object;

JSON.parse($('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><ValidateUserResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"><ValidateUserResult>{"Items":{"Success":"1","UserId":"3","msg":"Success"}}</ValidateUserResult></ValidateUserResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>').children().find('validateuserresult').text())

pass the soap response as a string to $() and you will get a jQuery object and iterate it to get to the response text. then pass that value into JSON.parse() to get the response.

Fiddle with response text parsed to a javascript object and printed on console. http://jsfiddle.net/aedne4os/
