you must parse JSON string to become object

var dataObject = jQuery.parseJSON(data);

so you can call it like:

success: function (data) {
    var dataObject = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
    if (dataObject.success == 1) {
       var insertedGoalId = dataObject.inserted.goal_id;
       ...
       ...
    }
}

Since you are using   ajax  and not   getJSON  your return type is plain text  you need to now convert data into a JSON object   you can either do this by changing your   ajax to   getJSON  which is a shorthand for   ajax  only preconfigured to fetch json    Or you can parse the data string into JSON after you receive it  like so       success  function  data             var obj     parseJSON data            console log obj

Imagine that this is your Json response    Visit    VisitId  8  Description   visit8      This is how you parse the response and access the values      Ext Ajax request       headers             Content-Type    application json             url   api fullvisit getfullvisit     visitId      method   GET       dataType   json       success  function  response  request            obj   JSON parse response responseText           alert obj Visit VisitId               This will alert the VisitId field

calling  var parsed data   JSON parse data     should result in the ability to access the data like you want   console log parsed data success     should now show  1
