How to access first element of JSON object array?

Question

I exptect that mandrill_events only contains one object. How do I access its event-property?

var req = { mandrill_events: \'[{\"event\":\"inboun         


        

Answer 1

'[{"event":"inbound","ts":1426249238}]' is a string, you cannot access any properties there. You will have to parse it to an object, with JSON.parse() and then handle it like a normal object
