How can I get the value of id, description and count. I did JSON.parse(response) but I am not sure how to get the value.

{  
“students”: [  
{  
“name”: “test1”,  
“id”: 1,  
“created\_at”: “2019-03-13T21:34:30Z”,  
“updated\_at”: “2019-03-13T21:34:30Z”,  
“title”: “My test ticket2”,  
“description”: “My test description!”  
}  
],  
“count”: 1  
}
