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


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];


As you've discovered, you can't use an @ symbol in a Javascript variable name, my_json.@type is invalid.

The good news for you is that you can access your variables as array subscripts. You would do it like this:

my_json["@type"]

Hope that helps.


If it ends up evaluating you can take the object and probably grab it by the key.

ie obj["@type"]. But something does seem a bit off.
