JSON is an interchange format, meaning it's only a text representing data in a format that many applications can read and translate into it's own language.

Therefore, using node.js you should parse it first (translate it to a javascript object) and store the result in a variable:

var obj = JSON.parse(yourJSONString);

Then, you can ask for any of it properties:

var mm = obj.mm;
