How to get array from ajax call in javascript

My ajax call looks like this: 

request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("GET","/showChamps?textInput=" + searchChamp.value,true);
request.send(null);
request.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (request.status == 200 && request.readyState == 4) {
  //how do i get my array
}

}; }

I have sent an array from my node.js server but I don't know how to get that array because request.responseText does not give me back an array. Also it would be appreciated if the answer is in javascript.

Thanks in Advance!

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.onload = function() { 
    if(xhr.status === 200) {
        var responseHTML = xhr.responseText,                 // HTML
            responseXML = xhr.responseXML,                   // XML
            responseObject = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);   // JSON
    } 
};
