You're supposed to extract body after you parse your JSON, not before.

var text = `{"body":[
          {"name":"name","value":"test1"},
          {"name":"inquiry_type","value":"test2"}
        ]}`; 

var obj = JSON.parse(text).body;
console.log(obj)  //note that you misspelled this too

Your variable text is a multiline string you must use template string :

var text = `{"body":[
          {"name":"name","value":"test1"},
          {"name":"inquiry_type","value":"test2"}
        ]}`;

or write it in single line : 

var text = '{"body":[{"name":"name","value":"test1"},{"name":"inquiry_type","value":"test2"}]}';

And you must save the parsed text in a variable like that :

var text = '{"body":[{"name":"name","value":"test1"},{"name":"inquiry_type","value":"test2"}]}'; 

text = JSON.parse(text);
console.log(text);
var obj = text.body;
console.log(obj);

For multiline statements, use template literals. Your JSON string is text, once you parse it you will get an object on which you can access body property using dot notation or bracket notation.

var text = `{"body":[
              {"name":"name","value":"test1"},
              {"name":"inquiry_type","value":"test2"}
            ]}`; 
console.log(text);
var obj = JSON.parse(text).body;
console.log (obj);

JSON.parse() takes a string of JSON and parses it, as the name suggests.

You have an array, not a string of JSON, so you don't need to do anything.
