Answer 1

DEMO1

var data = '{"readyState": 4, "responseText": {"amount":1231,"firstName":"dfsdf","lastName":"lasernmae","email":"vijaitest@gmail.com"}, "status": 200, "statusText": "OK"}';
var jsonObject = $.parseJSON(data);
console.debug(jsonObject.responseText.amount);

if you have responseText as String you can use following code:

DEMO2

var resT = $.parseJSON(response.responseText);
console.debug(resT.amount);

Answer 2

Assuming your object has the variable name of data. Just do..

var amount = data.responseText.amount;

If you are getting that response from a server, and still need to parse it.

var data = JSON.parse(theObjectsVariableNameHere);
var amount = data.responseText.amount;
