Parse special character with jquery json

Question

I have the following JSON: ``` { "parse": { "title":"Wiki", "revid":491629701, "text": { "*": "

" } } } ``` And I try to access: `parse->text->*`: ``` $.getJSON( 'my_url&callback=?', function(json) { console.log(json.parse.text.*); } ); ``` The following error appears: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token * . How can I properly parse this object?

Accepted Answer

Use square bracket notation instead:

```
console.log(json.parse.text["*"]); 
```
