I am trying to retrieve a json string and parsing it.

I've tried both:
var obj = $.parseJSON(data);
and
var t = JSON.parse(data);

They return "Invalid character error."

My data being returned is:

{"AttemptId":"5180301"}

Select allOpen in new window

And when I view it in the debugger, it looks like this:

It is erroring in the jquery-1.11.2.min.js file with the catch here:

And the actual error looks like above when I step through it.

I looked at all the examples and they were using single quotes, so I found and used a manual serializer and sent this instead, with single quotes instead of the double quotes, so there would be no escaped characters.

{'AttemptId':'123456'}

Select allOpen in new window

But still the same error. Do you see any reason I should be getting the invalid character error?

thanks!
