Ajax get function array element

Question

Hello stackoverflow community, I need help with ajax $.get function. When I recieve array from getlist.php and i alert ir like this alert(data_list); everything works correctly. But when I try to alert like this alert(data_list.id) it doesn't work. Here is how my array looks like in console:

[{"id":"2","name":"Something","type":"horizontal","clicks":"0","start_date":"01/20/2016","end_date" :"02/19/2016","status":"1","target":"http://","image_url":"http://","pre_exp_email":"0"},{"id" :"1","name":"None","type":"horizontal","clicks":"2","start_date":"01/20/2016","end_date":"05/19/2016" ,"status":"1","target":"http://wps.us.lt","image_url":"http://....../wp-content/uploads/2016 /01/250by250ad.jpg","pre_exp_email":"0","group_id":["1"],"slots":{"1":"1"}}]

And here is myfunction which calls get function.

    function get_list() {
        jQuery.get("/wp-content/plugins/wp125/functions/getlist.php", { grouptype:jQuery('#grouptype').val() }, function(data_list){
            var str;
            alert(data_list.name);
        });             
    }

It is an array of objects or just an object??? You need to be more precise in your question. And where do you try to alert: `data_list.id`? — A. Wolff, Jan 20 '16 at 12:39
So your posted output is quite unrelevant, isn't it?!... And you need to iterate through array to get objects ID. — A. Wolff, Jan 20 '16 at 12:42
If it is array of object then you should do like `data_list[0].name` if more element in array then use `$.each` — Parth Trivedi, Jan 20 '16 at 12:42
@A.Wolff i updated my array with more then one object. You can look. — Sidas, Jan 20 '16 at 12:46
@Sidas There are thousand dupes regarding this... All is said anyway... And still not clear what is your expected behaviour. Getting all IDs in an array or getting specific indexed object ID or what. — A. Wolff, Jan 20 '16 at 12:51

If data is only a object like

var k={"id":123;"name":"abc"}

you can access id using k.id

but when it is object of Array like

var k=[{"id":123,"name":"abc"},{"id":13,"name":"ab"}];

in that case you have iterate over array something like this

for(i=0;i<k.length;i++)
    {console.log(k[i].id)}
