  <p>I want this variable to create from servlet according to data in my database when I'm passing this value from servlet as normal response type <code>(response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");)</code> I'm unable to process it. Even if you see this variable its not a valid json object so I can't use JSON.parse.</p>
  
  <p>Please guide me how to get this variable through ajax call what will be dataType in ajax call and what will be response content type in servlet.
  Or if there is some other way to do it please help.
  Thanks</p>
