Reading simple JSON Object returns undefined

I have a JSON object which looks like this.

  {
  "Manager": "[{\"firstname\":\"Kris\"}],[{\"lastname\":\"test\"}]",
  "Employee": "[{\"firstname\":\"Nick\"}],[{\"lastname\":\"test\"}]"
  }

I am using Jquery to try and read my object but it seems that I am doing a mistake somehow.

JSON.stringify(data[0].Manager.firstname) //returns undefined.

Any suggestions on how to read this via JQuery will be much appreciated

Please note my datatype is JSON on my ajax call. Thanks in advance.

chack json online

var obj= {"Manager": "[{\"fistname\":\"Kris\"},{\"lastname\":\"test\"}]","Employee": "[{\"fistname\":\"Nick\"},{\"lastname\":\"test\"}]"};
  $.each(obj,function(key,value){
    if(key=='Manager'){
       var elem=$.parseJSON(value);
       $.each(elem,function(key,value){
         if(!(typeof value.fistname === "undefined"))

This is how you do json with js.

var data = [{
    "Manager": {
      "firstname": "Kris",
      "lastname": "test"
    },
    "Employee": {
      "firstname": "Nick",
      "lastname": "test"
    }
  },
  {
    "Manager": {
      "firstname": "Kris2222",
      "lastname": "test222"
    },
    "Employee": {
      "firstname": "Nick222",
      "lastname": "test2222"
    }
  }
];



console.log(data[0].Manager.firstname);
console.log(data[1].Manager.firstname);

Your json has fistName for the firstName. Changing it to firstName should fix it.
