        "days": [
            {
                "runs": "Y",
                "day-code": "SUN"
            },
            {
                "runs": "Y",
                "day-code": "MON"
            },
            {
                "runs": "Y",
                "day-code": "TUE"
            },
            {
                "runs": "Y",
                "day-code": "WED"
            },
            {
                "runs": "Y",
                "day-code": "THU"
            },
            {
                "runs": "Y",
                "day-code": "FRI"
            },
            {
                "runs": "Y",
                "day-code": "SAT"
            }
        ],
        "name": "BHOPAL  EXPRESS"
    },
    "response_code": 200
};
$(document).ready(function(){

var datalist = data.train.days;


      for(var i in datalist)
      {
           $(".train").append("<p> Run on" +datalist[i].day-code +"-" + datalist[i].runs +"</p>");
      }


});

This code give me a error datalist[i].day-code "code is not define".How i can access a key which contains "-" .As it is running fine if am only using datalist[i].runs.Please suggest.

You need to replace

datalist[i].day-code

with

datalist[i]['day-code']

wouldn't `datalist[i].dayCode` work as well? – CoderPi Dec 05 '15 at 14:53
@SatnamSingh - Initially there was an error in answer with a `.` prior to bracket. Please try updated answer – Nikhil Aggarwal Dec 05 '15 at 14:53

@CodeiSir: I sure hope not. (No, that won't work.) – Dec 05 '15 at 14:54
`var datalist = data.train.days;for (var i in datalist) { $(".train").append("
Run on" + datalist[i]["day-code"] + "-" + datalist[i].runs + "
"); }` – CoderPi Dec 05 '15 at 15:02
