I need to use the 'options' object that's in this json script

Get the innerText of the script tag and then parse the JSON.

var options = JSON.parse(document.querySelector('script[data-drupal-selector="drupal-settings-json"]').innerText);

While this does work, according to the HTML5 spec this is a misuse of script tags. – Jeff B May 27 '21 at 18:16
My answer didn't misuse the script tag so your comment is irrelevant. Drupal is a huge and well trusted platform, I'm sure they're know what they're doing. – I wrestled a bear once. May 27 '21 at 18:18
