Readig a nested object

Question

I have this object:

var body = {
  "LocationInfo": {
    "Stores": [
      {
        "Number": 524,
        "Name": "Store"
      }
    ]
  }
};

But I can't read anything inside the object, for example:

console.log(body["LocationInfo"]["Stores"][0]); is undefined

This is so basic... I'm not sure what's wrong.

It works on my console. `Object {Number: 524, Name: "Store"}` is logged. — fuyushimoya, Aug 21 '15 at 18:35
Same here. ```var x = body["LocationInfo"]["Stores"][0];```. x is not undefined for me — kmc059000, Aug 21 '15 at 18:36
You will have to show more of your code. The code you've posted works fine. https://jsfiddle.net/3d7ou2hy/ — JJJ, Aug 21 '15 at 18:36
@Juhana this is the full JSON i'm trying to read: http://pastebin.com/1T8HZ5SJ — alyx, Aug 21 '15 at 18:43
That object doesn't have a `LocationInfo` member. https://jsfiddle.net/3d7ou2hy/1/ — JJJ, Aug 21 '15 at 18:45
@Juhana it's this property `PersonalLocationInfo` i just shortened it — alyx, Aug 21 '15 at 18:47
Then it works equally well. https://jsfiddle.net/3d7ou2hy/2/ Seriously, you have to show a **complete** example that **replicates** the problem – edit the jsfiddle so that it matches the problem you're describing. It's impossible to help if you don't show enough code. — JJJ, Aug 21 '15 at 19:01

It does work as expected; undefined is just the return value of console.log.

Why is this downvoted? `console.log("digitalsteez") VM332:2 digitalsteez undefined` This is the same thing that occurs when you run jrbaldwinn's code in the console: `console.log(body["LocationInfo"]["Stores"][0]); VM343:2 Object {Number: 524, Name: "Store"} undefined` There's even a symbol that implies that it is the function's return value. – digitalsteez Aug 21 '15 at 19:31
If you are indeed running this on Node, I'm not sure what's going on. This is what I get with your code on Node: `$ node test.js { Number: 524, Name: 'Store' }` – digitalsteez Aug 21 '15 at 19:35

There is nothing wrong with your object. The reason you see that "undefined" is not because your object is wrong or something in it is undefined. Its just that the console appends undefined after console.log(); function is called. For more knowledge, refer this:

Chrome/Firefox console.log always appends a line saying 'undefined'

Ok I solved my issue: there's a bug in the node request module that wraps double escapes, so I did:

body = JSON.parse(body);
body = JSON.parse(body);

twice in a row and it worked!
