Django view doen't able to return json on ajax success?
parseJSON isn't needed.
Since you're just working with a dictionary you can just access it as you would with any other dictionary in javascript
For example.
alert(ret_json.stat);
With HttpResponse and json dump, you can get response data in js like this
var val = $.ajax({ url:"feed/get_comments/", type: "GET", data:{c_id: cid}, //cid is a variable initialized above and not creating any problem success: function(ret_json){ alert("Inside success"); //Running everytime var sam_json = '{"stat":"Success"}'; //same as what is given in JsonResponse var data = jQuery.parseJSON(val.responseText); //for debugging change to sam_json alert(data); //with sam_json alerting with dictionary, with ret_json not giving any alert }, val.responseText will have the data you are sending from view.
