In your jQuery call, specify that this is JSON:

$.post(
    "backend.php", 
    data: "nodata",
    function(data) {
        console.log(data.username);
    },
    "json"
);

or use jQuery's parseJSON like so:

$.post(
    "backend.php", 
    data: "nodata",
    function(rawData) {
        var data = $.parseJSON(rawData);
        console.log(data.username);
    }
);

Use the parseJSON function:

var jsonStr = '{"id":true,"username":"mynameisdonald"}';
var obj = $.parseJSON(jsonStr);
console.log(obj.username);
