Maybe you had problems with your header.. try the following code

response.setContentType("application/json");

Even though the OP found an answer, I would like to share a mistake I was doing. In my server side code I was sending 'text' as content-type. However, in the jquery ajax call (from frontend) I had set dataType: 'json'. This mismatch was causing the error on the website. However, it was working fine on the console. Here is an answer giving more details about contentType and dataType - https://stackoverflow.com/a/18701357/5576491
