'Parse Error' on returning value from my umbraco web api using JsonP

API Questions

I am using Umbraco 6.1.6 with MVC4 on Visual Studio 2012.

I am using jsonp to return value from my umbraco web api. But the response on network tab of inspect element shows the response. But still I get parse error on client side.

Server-side code

public class LocaterApiController : UmbracoApiController
{
   private proUmbracoContext db = new proUmbracoContext();

   [HttpGet]
   public IEnumerable<string> GetNearest()
   {
    return new[] { "Table", "Chair", "Desk", "Computer", "Beer fridge" };
   }
}

client-side Code

 <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
   <head>
   <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
  <script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $( "#post").click(function() {
        alert('post');
        $.ajax({
            crossDomain: true,
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            url: "http://localhost:1958/Umbraco/api/LocaterApi/GetPost",
            data: { EmailId : "[email protected]" },
            dataType: "jsonp",
            success: onDataReceived,
            error: onError
        });

        function onDataReceived(data)
        {
            alert("Data received");
        }
        function onError(data,status)
        {
            alert(status);
        }
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="submit" id="post" value="Post"/>
</body>

I am returning values from server to client and on the network tab the status is shown '200 OK' and the response is

["Table","Chair","Desk","Computer","Beer fridge"]

But it alerts a parse error.

Hope some could point what I am doing Wrong.

Any Help Would be Appreciated.
