Suppose I call an ajax call and I get a data that looks like this,

{
"count": 51,
"data": [ //some data]
}

Now, I read that JSON object will have a double quotes "" around every name and values. So JSON object would look like this ?

{
"count": "51",
"data": "[ //some data]"
}

So am I correct in thinking that the data I get from ajax call is not a JSON object, but a Javascript Object ?
