manipulating a JS object

I have a problem in that I need some information from an API, but am not able to dig any further, and as a result i'm only able to dig so far into the api to gather the information that i need, and it is coming as an object. Looking like this: 

{"display_custom_hours":"Open on Oct 15 from 3:00PM - 4:00PM"}

However I only need this part

Open on Oct 15 from 3:00PM - 4:00PM

Am I able to use Javascript to manipulate that information to what I need?

Try this

var jsonData = '{"display_custom_hours":"Open on Oct 15 from 3:00PM - 4:00PM"}';
jsonData = JSON.parse(jsonData);
alert(jsonData.display_custom_hours);

Solution steps

  1. Put your data into a variable var , like this

    var jsonData = '{"display_custom_hours":"Open on Oct 15 from 3:00PM - 4:00PM"}';

  2. Prase it using JSON.parse function , like this

    jsonData = JSON.parse(jsonData);

  3. You can use your date in this form Object.propriety , like this

    alert(jsonData.display_custom_hours);

Output

    Open on Oct 15 from 3:00PM - 4:00PM

If you are already object, try this:

console.log(your_object.display_custom_hours);

If not try this:

var stringObj = '{"display_custom_hours":"Open on Oct 15 from 3:00PM - 4:00PM"}'; // or item received
var obj = JSON.parse(stringObj);
console.log(obj.display_custom_hours);
