Using $.couch.db("dir").openDoc() to fetch a Json string

Question

Is it possible to fetch a Json string from a couch server using code such as

    $.couch.db(getDir).openDoc(getDoc, {
    success: function(data) {
        console.log(data);
        var myJson = data.toString();
        alert(myJson);
    },
    error: function(status) {
        console.log(status);
    }
});

Whenever I attempt to do this, myJson is always undefined

Not sure if you're still looking for an answer on this.. What are 'getDir' and 'getDoc' set to? Assuming their values are getDir=(databasename) on getDoc=(a doc _id), this should work:

$.couch.db(getDir).openDoc(getDoc, {
success: function(data) {
    alert(JSON.stringify(data));
},
error: function(status) {
    alert("err:"+status);
}
});
