Parsing JSON with pure JavaScript

Question

Is it possible to handle a JSON response using plain Ajax (i.e. JavaScript, without JQuery)?

In this description: http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/ajax_xmlhttprequest_response.asp only Text and XML objects are mentioned, but how to handle a JSON respone?

I just want to use pure JavaScript, without any additional libraries.

This shows me the JSON respone:

console.log(xhttp.responseText);

You can use JSON.parse():

console.log(JSON.parse(xhttp.responseText));
