JSONP error message saying "parseerror"

JavaScript
1

I am using codeigniter along with a jquery ajax call. I get a response from the server but when I try to alert the data contained from the response it just says “parseerror”, how do I get the entire data, see my code below:

I get this response, alongside an error in Firebug:

[B]http://domain.com/179/index.php/api/user?callback=jQuery17205221128812328766_1338198528713&format=jsonp&id=1&_=1338198528789[/B]

ERROR

[B]missing ; before statement

</div><div style=“border:1px solid #990000;padding-left:20px;margin:0 0 10px 0;”[/B]

VIEW

            $(document).ready(function(){
               $.ajax({
					url: "http://domain.com/179/index.php/api/user",
					data: "format=jsonp&id=1",
					dataType: "jsonp", 
					type: "GET",
					success: function(data) {
					var json = $.parseJSON(data);
					
					alert(json)
					},
					error: function(err, msg){
					var json = $.parseJSON(data);
					
					alert(json)
					
					}
				}); 
            })

CONTROLLER

class Api extends REST_Controller  
{  
    function user_get($x)  
    {  
		
		$id = $this->get('id');
		
        if(!isset($id))  
        {  
            $this->response(NULL, 400);  
        }  
		
		// validate user
		
		$this->load->model('model_admin');
				     
        $user =	$this->model_admin->get_data($id);

  
        if($user)  
        {  
            $this->response($user, 200); // 200 being the HTTP response code  
        }  
  
        else  
        {  
            $this->response(NULL, 404);  
        }  
    }

The JSON contained inside http://domain.com/179/index.php/api/user

([{"id":"1","first_name":"John","last_name":"smith"}])

Also, for example, I would like to alert John smith (from above json)… how would I do that in the view??

Possibly the invalid () wrapped arount the array.
