This question has already been answered:

Hello. The task is this: there is a script, after processing the data, it returns data. Upon receipt, you need to process them. I usually watch them through console.log (file). An array of data arrives (shown in screen 1.). I need to get data from the file.xhr.response section. I am writing console.log (file.xhr.response); in response to silence. What could be the reason, perhaps this level should be addressed somehow differently. For example, I write console.log (file.xhr); an array with xhr data is displayed ... (screen 2), but it is impossible to go further down. How to get to this level? Thank you in advance!

    In xhr , the response is always a string, it needs to be parsed.

     var res = JSON.parse(file.xhr.responseText) console.log(res.name);

    Well, and perhaps you are not waiting for the server to respond?

     file.xhr.onload = function() { var res = JSON.parse(file.xhr.responseText) console.log(res.name); };

    The fact is that the value of the object in the console is displayed at the time of its disclosure (this is indicated by the blue letter i ), you click at the moment when the answer is already received and see it, but when you call console.log, it is still empty.

      The first option is not working, I, too, "detained", and the second is what we need! Great. You saved me time, THANKS! - Eugene
