You're probably looking for jQuery.getJSON(): http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/
var url = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=aNdMiIAlK0g&max-results=1&v=2&alt=jsonc";
var title;
var description;
$.getJSON(url,
function(response){
title = response.data.items[0].title;
description = response.data.items[0].description;
});
getJSON returns a response with property data, and data has a property of items which is an array. The array only has one item, so we're just using items[0], and that item has a property title and a property description that we're going to save into our variables.
Hope this helps!
//edit: oops, yeah I thought response would be a better name for the variable, forgot to update the second line

@Mozart , do null check on data before start you accessing them
Try this..
$.ajax({
url: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=aNdMiIAlK0g&max-results=1&v=2&alt=jsonc,
dataType: 'json',
data: data,
success: your_callback
});

I created a JavaScript function to pull and display a YouTube channel listing (posted the code to StackOverflow). You can find it here:
