Here is my object
var myObject = {"HardGood":362,"Music":2};
console.log(myObject[0]); // undefined? instead of "Hardwood 362"
What am I doing wrong?

myObject is an object not an array, so using [0] will indeed be undefined.
Use myObject.HardGood or myObject.Music to get the value or that property
Code
console.log(myObject.HardGood); // will output 362
console.log(myObject.Music); // will output 2
UPDATE
var objects = [
{
"title": "HardGood"
"type": "362"
},
{
"title": "Music"
"type": "2"
}
];
console.log(objects[0].title); // output HardGood
console.log(objects[1].type); // output 2

Thankyou, how do I obtain the HardGood & Music? because the object will change and it will be difficult to hardcode all of the different items. – Jason Jul 03 '15 at 13:15

Hi, I get where you are coming from, but I have no control over the structure of the object, unfortunately it arrives as var myObject = {"HardGood":362,"Music":2}; not as in your example. I am having a brain fade today, so if I am missing something, please let me know, many thanks – Jason Jul 03 '15 at 13:29

You should call the first element in an object like this: myObject.key and your key is HardGood.
In arrays it's done like this:
var _Array = [];
_Array .push('x1'); //pushing in array
_Array .push('x2');
console.log(_Array[0]); // getting the first element in that array
Update: if you want to get it dynamically:
var myObject = {"HardGood":362,"Music":2};
for(var key in myObject){
console.log(key +':'+myObject[key]);
}

You have to access JSON object property with . Like below
var myObject = {"HardGood":362,"Music":2};
console.log(myObject.HardGood); //362
