How do I ignore MIME types in ajax calls?

The response header passes a JSON object, but it also passes the MIME type ("Content-Type", 'application/json');

JSON.parse(object) fails because the following MIME type is there. If I remove the MIME type and just pass the JSON object JSON.parse(object) works. But, that doesn't solve my issue. I need to be able to ignore MIME types in case someone adds it. How do I do that within an ajax call that has a condition JSON.parse(object) to see if its valid JSON.

Explanation / Answer

To tell the server what datatype we ajax is expecting in response, we need to use dataType keyword. So use below flag in your ajax call
