I am having trouble using the json object echoed from php to javascript. In the php file I define

```
$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';
echo($json);

```

and then in javascript file I want to access this object.

```
$("#test_btn").click(function() {
                $.get("serverside.php", function(data, status) { 
                   console.log("data " , data["a"]); //undefined
                   console.log(JSON.parse(data)); // error
                });
            });

```

I get undefined for data["a"] and an error for JSON.parse. How should I use the returend data?
