Reading json data from PHP back to ajax post

I have an ajax post function that gets data from the backend. 

$.ajax({
     type: "POST",
     url: action,
     result: "json",
     data: formData,
})
.done(function( msg ) {

    console.log(msg.status);

});

Php is

    return json_encode(array('status' => 'ok'));

But when i try to read msg.status the result is undefined. If I log msg value,it has: {"status":"ok"}

How do I read it in json format?

There is no result property in $.ajax. If you want to tell jQuery to parse the JSON for you, you need to use dataType.

$.ajax({
     type: "POST",
     url: action,
     dataType: "json",
     data: formData,
})
.done(function(msg) {
    console.log(msg.status);
});
