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 @ty

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];
