How do I access object attributes that contain special characters?

Question

How do I access object attributes whose name contains a number and dot and spaces?

my REST API response is:

{
  "Global Quote": {
    "01. symbol": "WDI.FRK",
    "02. open": "147.5000",
    "03. high": "150.1000",
    "04. low": "130.3000",
    "05. price": "139.7500",
    "06. volume": "79625",
    "07. latest trading day": "2019-05-31",
    "08. previous close": "154.0000",
    "09. change": "-14.2500",
    "10. change percent": "-9.2532%"
  }
}

This notation does not work:

  var data                  = response;
  var price= data.Global%x20Quote.05.%x20price;

Use brackets and a quoted string : `jsonResp["Global Quote"]` — Jared Smith, Jun 02 '19 at 16:57
@JaredSmith, that's an answer, not a comment. Care to write one? — Wyck, Jun 02 '19 at 17:00
@wyck I knew it was a dupe but I'm on my phone and was being lazy. Since you did the work, I've voted to close. — Jared Smith, Jun 02 '19 at 17:06

This should work: const price = data['Global Quote']['05. price']
