Can't access object property, even though it shows up in a console log

Question

Below, you can see the output from these two logs. The first clearly shows the full object with the property I\'m trying to access, but on the very next line of code, I can\

Answer 1

Check if inside the object there's an array of objects. I had a similar issue with a JSON:

    "terms": {
        "category": [
            {
                "ID": 4,
                "name": "Cirugia",
                "slug": "cirugia",
                "description": "",
                "taxonomy": "category",
                "parent": null,
                "count": 68,
                "link": "http://distritocuatro.mx/enarm/category/cirugia/"
            }
        ]
    }

I tried to access the 'name' key from 'category' and I got the undefined error, because I was using:

var_name = obj_array.terms.category.name

Then I realised it has got square brackets, that means that it has an array of objects inside the category key, because it can have more than one category object. So, in order to get the 'name' key I used this:

var_name = obj_array.terms.category[0].name

And That does the trick.

Maybe it's too late for this answer, but I hope someone with the same problem will find this as I did before finding the Solution :)
