readign JSON variable returned by an AJAX call

Question

I makinn an AJAX call that returns a JSON string. The JSON is either {"status":"success"} or {"status":"error"}.

I want to read the status JSON variable. I tried multiple ways but I wasn't able to get that. As of now I am able to log the string into console.

 success: function(data){
        console.log("embedded success");
        var jsondata = JSON.parse(data);
        console.log(jsondata);
 }

You can use either dot-notation or bracket-notation for Property Accessors. Either of the following will work:

console.log(jsondata.status);
console.log(jsondata["status"]);
