How to create a string variable with Quotation marks in it's value?

Question

I have following text:

"{
  "iv": "QaVlP3rzrSNw3oRLqmXv7Q",
  "v": 1,
  "iter": 1000,
  "ks": 128,
  "ts": 64,
  "mode": "ccm",
  "adata": "",
  "cipher": "aes",
  "salt": "ffGgwesLMEg",
  "ct": "5QjHDbwuLIgYZFWvgIH4J5WZI514zJR0ucsmQ0jljYaOgCKNOWlnrpO0ipEVjQiA7hHfk7T7nXcjN2Yo10U+dGY5DMS+OfvZiGo6/kbBkgpFWEz28uwUl1zIRJ6NBfxULbMjyoUwPuxV05r87U5+H+WEuEiKCP7HWgQH0d68a8AEsvoVah1pDUWlYXom8+TqvTHwmm5Dyyv84h3JN8KHSEnum8ORXDGGNthif3LzirAULRzH0PlsJYrgtj+yOoIWuS0wAKPgwxRkAVchjRoFqEgwfYp+wawLC6oWwj8Mq1ERVyk"
}"

If I use a text file in same directory with this value, using jQuery:

var text = jQuery.get('http://localhost/text.txt');
//This convert text to an Object...

and

JSON.stringify(text)
// returns "{"readyState":1}"

So, is there any method to save this text in a variable?

If you want it in a variable as a string, just do var foo = JSON.stringify(text); — CrayonViolent

You need to use a callback to handle the response and set response type as json.

jQuery.get('http://localhost/text.txt', function(res){
   console.log(res);
}, 'json');

Or use jQuery.getJSON method instead.

jQuery.getJSON('http://localhost/text.txt', function(res){
   console.log(res);
});
