Syntax error in jQuery.parseJSON

I'm trying to show the content of a json array with jquery but it returns this error:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 2 of the JSON data

function getMembers(){
 $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    dataType: "json",
    url: "http://localhost:8080/rest/congreso/miembro/members",
    success: function(data){
        //if i use the next line works correctly
        //var json = jQuery.parseJSON( '[{"id":6,"nombre":"nombre1","apellidos":"apellido1","afiliacion":"aaa","nacionalidad":"bbb"}]' )
        //if i use the next line  i have a syntax error
        var json = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
        $.each(json, function(idx, obj) {
        $( "#resMembers" ).append( "<p>"+obj.nombre)+"</p>";
        });
        },
    error:function(res){
        alert("ERROR: "+ res.statusText); }
 });
}

I've checked the returned JSON string with advanced rest client and this is what I get:

'[{"id":6,"nombre":"nombre1","apellidos":"apellido1","afiliacion":"aaa","nacionalidad":"bbb"}]'

It looks correct.

Inside success, data is already parsed. You don't need to do that manually with JSON.parse. jQuery does that much for you, this is the entire purpose of using dataType: 'json'.
