Getting data from XMLHttpRequest responseText

i'm using ajax to get some data which i want to use after ajax is done. however i can't manipulate the response here's my code

function testAjax() {           
        direc = "controller.php";
        return $.ajax({url: direc});            
        }           
        var obj = testAjax(); 
        console.log(obj);           
        console.log(obj.responseText);

console.log(obj) returns this : 

 XMLHttpRequest { readyState=1,  timeout=0,  withCredentials=false,  more...}

response

"[{"CLICREDIT_Cod":"1002","CLICREDIT_Credit":"2000","CLICREDIT_FlagEstad":"1"}]"

responseText

"[{"CLICREDIT_Cod":"1002","CLICREDIT_Credit":"2000","CLICREDIT_FlagEstad":"1"}]"

console.log(obj.responseText) returns this :

(an empty string)

is there a way to manipulate that data? i've tried some stuff like JSON.parse but nothing seems to work, any help would be appreciated. thanks

use success() to get response of requested page

 var responseText={};
 $.ajax({url: 'controller.php',
    type:"POST",
    success: function(data)
   {
        responseText= data;

    }});

You can use callback function after success. Browser does not wait for a response and continue with code. so when browser get result, callback function will hit.

$.ajax({url: direc, success: doSmth});
function doSmth(data){
//do something with data
}

Since ajax is async you have to use then: 

promise.then( doneCallback, failCallback )

function testAjax() {
  direc = "controller.php";
  return $.ajax({
    url: direc
  });
}
var obj = testAjax();

obj.then(function(result) {
  console.log(result);
}, function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
  alert(xhr.status);
  alert(thrownError);
});

This is asynchronous, you need to use the .done() function. Take a look at the sample here.
