Error can be in server side script.

The pure JSON response is:

{"success":1,"message":"account successfully created."} 

I have tested it in my browser.

Answer 1

I solved the question myself.

In backend PHP file, I used echo statements, which also outputted as response. So, the json String contained a html tags and/or lines and so, it couldn't be parsed.

Remove all echo statements or relative statements in your backend file. It will work. Thanks.

Answer 2

You json String contains a <br /> tag so it can't be parsed.

Try you url in a browser and check that the result is pure json.

Answer 3

Convert the string to json object in post execute method.
