Parsing JSON w/ @ at sign symbol in it (arobase)

Question

My JSON object evaluates to:

{ "@io": IO, "@type": XXX } 

If this variable is called my_json, how do I access the @type value of XXX? I tried my_json.@type, but this is giving errors. Help appreciated. Thanks,

Nick

Answer 1

Use square bracket notation with a string:

var XXXValue = my_json['@type']; 

The same can be used when you have a property name in a variable. Using your same example:

var propertyName = '@type'; var XXXValue = my_json[propertyName];
