jquery decode json object with double quoted keys

[heals1ic]

I have a script that outputs a json string via json_encode in PHP. The json string consists of

[{"custId":"2","custName":"John Inc"}]

The PHP script is initiated using

$.getJSON("customer.php", function(data){alert(data + ' ' + data.custName);});

The response is -

[object Object] undefined

Javascript recognises 'data' as an object but I cannot seem to reference the information using json dotted notation.

[rnd me]

try using alert(data.toSource()); in firefox, and see what data actually is.

Work it out that I had braces surrounding my json string therefore it was being interpreted as array(object).

Fixed it with data[0].custName
