Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : for a valid JSON [UPDATED]

I am trying to get a cross-domain JSON data via $.ajax method $.ajax({ type: "GET", dataType: 'jsonp', url: "http://nrb.org.np/exportForexJSON.php?YY=2016&MM=06", crossDomain : true, }) .done(function( data ) { console.log("done"); console.log(data); }) .fail( function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) { console.log(xhr); console.log(xhr.responseText); // alert(xhr.responseText); // alert(textStatus); }); The JSON returned by the url is { "Conversion": { "Currency": [{ "Date": "2016-06-23", "BaseCurrency": "INR", "TargetCurrency": "NPR", "BaseValue": "100", "TargetBuy": "160.00", "TargetSell": "160.15" }, { "Date": "2016-06-23", "BaseCurrency": "USD", "TargetCurrency": "NPR", "BaseValue": "1", "TargetBuy": "107.76", "TargetSell": "108.36" }, { "Date": "2016-06-23", "BaseCurrency": "BHD", "TargetCurrency": "NPR", "BaseValue": "1", "TargetBuy": "285.75", "TargetSell": "N/A" }] } } I checked if the JSON is valid by using http://jsonlint.com/. The JSON is Okay. I get a console error. Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : The console is pointing to the error in the following screenshot
