How to access an object property when its key has a colon in it?

Question

I have this JSON:

{
  "foo:bar":"value",
  "key:id":"1234",
  "url":"www.google.com"},

How can I get foo:bar value in Javascript ? I can get myJson.urlvalue but i can't access to foo:bar because of the colon in it.

That's not invalid JSON; it's perfectly fine: `myJson["foo:bar"]` — Pointy, Apr 10 '16 at 15:52

You could use bracket notation to access that value,

console.log(myJson["foo:bar"]);

And your object is perfectly valid.
