Quick Answer
Handle JSON in jQuery: $.getJSON(url, callback) fetches and automatically parses JSON. In $.ajax, set dataType: "json" for automatic parsing - the success callback receives a JavaScript object, not a string. $.parseJSON() parses a JSON string manually. $.ajax() also supports contentType: "application/json" and JSON.stringify(data) for sending JSON to APIs.
Answer
Use $.getJSON() for retrieving JSON data. Use JSON.parse()/JSON.stringify() for manual conversion. Ensures structured data processing.
