javascript - JSON syntax error in firefox only -

im getting syntax error in firefox when using $.parsejson(). same code works on chrome/chromium, , safari.

i call function random generated token set.

function gettoken() {     var url = "/csrf_token_generate";     $.ajax({         url: url,         method: "get"     }).done(function(data) {         console.log(data); // logs data call         var json = $.parsejson(data); // error occurs         token = json.token;         console.log(token);     }); } 

the url /csrf_token_genrate returns json object similar {"token":"$2y$10$jcr.p3fnqeji6rqd93lnxeiks9gynipj7cboahz8rccsgkw7vofhi"}

in url, setting content-type application/json works in every other browser.

the error im getting this

syntaxerror: json.parse: unexpected character @ line 1 column 2 of json data n.parsejson()                jquery.min.js:4 gettoken/<()                 wheel.bak.js:94 n.callbacks/j()              jquery.min.js:2 n.callbacks/k.firewith()     jquery.min.js:2 x()                          jquery.min.js:4 .send/b/<()                  jquery.min.js:4 

the object being console.log()'ed object { token: "$2y$10$60vxszivqushblvhsr5jpo6mqud4…" }

i can't seem track down why won't work in firefox, works fine in other browsers.

update 1

i figured out firefox trying parse parsed object, changed code along

function gettoken() {     var url = "/csrf_token_generate";     $.ajax({         url: url,         method: "get"     }).done(function(data) {         var json = data;         token = json.token;         console.log(token);     }); } 

which works in firefox, not chromium.

so there than?

i think should check response headers -> content-type find actual data type. , compatible code should this.

# chrome if(typeof data === 'string') {  } #for firefox if(typeof data === 'object') {  }
