I am trying to access a JSON result from jQuery.
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://localhost:8080/App/QueryString.jsp?Query="+query,
contentType:"text/html; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(json) {
if(data!=""){
console.log(json);
var data = json.Json;
console.log(data);
}
}
});
But this is giving me result with HTML tags in it.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" ".dtd">
<html>
<body> JSON:[Includes the result]</body>
</html>
I am getting the json output but enclosed with HTML tags. I just want to remove them and get the json result only.
Can somebody help me on this? Does it have something to do with the dataType and contentType?

I guess you will have to do
JSON.parse(json.body). Also, you can look into$.getJSON()– Rajesh Commented Oct 30, 2017 at 7:53

Reset to default 7You use:
contentType:"text/html; charset=utf-8"
This asks for HTML format. Change that to:
contentType:"application/json; charset=utf-8"
And you should get the raw JSON back.
The problem is with your contentType property. You have set it to text/html; ... which returns you the html structure. Try removing the contentType from your request or setting it to application/json; charset=utf-8 to get raw JSON output.
