how to get value of array (not json) in ajax javascript

Question

I have an api gives result like

    Array ( [status] => success 
            [message] => Data available 
            [response] => Array ( 
            [0] => Array (
                          [id] => 1 [name] =>abc
                         ) 
            [1] => Array (
                          [id] => 2 [name] => xyz 
                         ) 
                 ) 
           )

how can i access each id and name using ajax call in javascript ? I am using below ajax request

   $.ajax({
        type:'POST',
        url: 'myapiurl',
        cache: false,
        crossDomain: true,
        success: function(data){
            alert(data);
            alert(data.response); //undefined
        }
    });

actually in string there are passing some dutch language character which are not supported in json format — Kirankumar Dafda, Mar 18 '16 at 11:21

Your api should return result in JSON rather than array. Once the data is in json you can access it like data.success, data.message, etc.

It seems like your api is in PHP, you can use json_encode($data);
