Hello friends i have some problem in xml to json convert
please help me

i am using jquery to access the web method my script is as follows

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#dlcustomers').change(function () {
        var obj = {};
        obj.cusID = $.trim($("[id*=dlcustomers]").val());
        alert(obj.cusID);
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "DataWebService.asmx/GetCustomersfn",
            data: JSON.stringify(obj),
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (data) {
                 // alert("sucesss");
                //alert(JSON.stringify(data));
                // alert(data.customers);
                $('#dataTable').html(JSON.stringify(data));
            },
            error: function (error) {
                alert("error");
            }
        });
    });
});

my web method is given below

[WebMethod]
  // [ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true, ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Xml)]
   public string GetCustomersfn(string cusID)
   {
       string query = "SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CustomerID LIKE @CustomerID";
       string tablename = "Customers";
       SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query);
       cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("CustomerID", "%" + cusID.Substring(0, 1) + "%");
       DataSet data = GetData(cmd, tablename);
      // return GetData(cmd, tablename).GetXml();
       System.IO.StringWriter writer = new System.IO.StringWriter();
       data.Tables[0].WriteXml(writer, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema, false);
       return writer.ToString();

   }

i am getting output of the webservice in xml format as follows
