Accessing Json fields with weird characters

Question

heres the sample of the json string:

Answer 1

Remember that all Javascript objects are just hash tables underneath, so you can always access elements with subscript notation.

Whenever an element name would cause a problem with the dot notation (such as using a variable element name, or one with weird characters, etc.) just use a string instead.

var cdata = item.description["#cdata-section"];
