Accessing JSON members

I am completely, utterly, and totally confused by JSON. I've read all the docs and I still can't understand what the hell is going on! I must be the densest person on the planet...

I've used JQuery ajax: to POST a JSON request.

 JQuery current ajax: #{
 'type' -> 'POST'.
 'url' -> 'some URL'.
 'dataType' -> 'json'.
 'success' -> [:jsonData | '#output-list' asJQuery append: '<br>',(JSON stringify: jsonData)].
 'error' -> [:xhr :status | alert value: status]
 }.

On success, the value of jsonData is:

{"verified":false,"id":0}

Based on my understanding of Amber-to-JS mapping and JSON format, the following should give me a value of false:

jsonData verified

But it doesn't.

I've read docs on JSON parse: and JSON stringify:, and jQuery ajax:'s success setting, and the more I read, the more confused I get. How can this JSON stuff be so damn complicated???

I just want to access the value of "verified":false. It can't be that hard, can it?

Okay, I must've made some kind of typo early on, because it's working now. 'jsonData verified' is the correct syntax.

<sigh>
