You have to parse the JSON string you received in a JSON Object..

see $.parseJSON (if you have jQuery)

or else in pure JS

var mjsn = JSON.parse( your_json );
console.log(mjsn['key']);
// or 
console.log(mjsn.key);

If it is from an ajax request your content type should be application/json to make that code work

if not parse it

var json = JSON.parse(data);
console.log(json.comment_id);
