Unable to parse Json data with jquery

Very simple question that's been dogging me. I have a handler that returns the following formatted JSON (and it has tested as valid):

[
{
"Field1": 1234,
"Field2": "My Name",
"Field3": 321,
"Field4": 456,
"Field5": 789,
"Field6": "Home",
"Field7": "123 Main St",
"Field8": "Updated 10/15/14",
"Field9": null,
"Field10": null
}
]

When I try to grab a value from this via:

var json = $.parseJSON(data);
var test = data.Field1;

I get 'undefined' for every value I test. The datatype on the ajax call is 'text' and 'data' in the above context represents the JSON object shown above.

your JSON string is array not object, so after parsing it, you need to access items like array.

data[0].Field1
