Reading values in html (response) with Ajax

I get this html as response when i post api call, so i want to know how i can read client_id and session_token with jquery or some simple javascript code?? 

function getNewsFeed(d) {
    var c = {
        page_num: b,
        num_events: d,
        return_as_html: true,
        source: "web"
    };
    TAGGED.api.call(c, check)
}

Now want to check things:

function check() {
    // checking here
}

["{\"stats\":\"ok\",\"dia\":\"44\",\"result\":{\"success\":true,\"session_token\":\"969ndg1ai0c43034\",\"next_event_id\":0,\"client_id\":1314852}}"]

I dont have JSON so cant read it with JSON.parse i tried using but in firebug it does not show JSON

i get same code in response and html when i check it with firebug.

Thanks.

If you can be sure there are not going to be certain special characters in your values, you can split by comma, then by colon, and strip out non-matching characters...

str = '["{\"stats\":\"ok\",\"dia\":\"44\",\"result\":{\"success\":true,\"session_token\":\"969ndg1ai0c43034\",\"next_event_id\":0,\"client_id\":1314852}}"]'

// replace all characters that are not letters, numbers, underscore, colon or comma
str = str.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9_:,]/g,'')

// get array of key value pairs
all = str.split(',')

// create empty opts object to store final data
opt = {}

// loop through array of key value pairs
for(i in all){

    // split into key value array
    bits = all[i].split(/:/)

    // assign to opt object
    opt[bits[0]] = bits[1]

}

// access values vie keys of opt
alert(opt.client_id+": "+opt.session_token)
