I've retrieved a JSON response from an external API and one of the variable names begins with a # character, so the JSON variable looks like this #text. Unfortunately angular doesn't know how to handle this variable, is there any way delete the # so that the data assigned to the identifier is usable. JSON response with #text identifier

    What do you mean "angular doesn't know how to handle it?" That could mean a number of things, but what I think you mean is that _you_ don't know how to handle it. Don't use the dot notation, use the bracket notation to reference it, like `object['#text']` instead of `object.#text` – Patrick Roberts Sep 17 '17 at 08:06
  • Yeah, I didn't know how to handle it, this is the correct answer. – William Lake. Sep 17 '17 at 08:17

In order to reference a property that does not follow the rules for a properly formatted identifier, you must use bracket notation instead of dot notation for the property accessor:

var object = JSON.parse('{"#text":"https://lastfm-im...png","size":"extralarge"}')
console.log(object['#text'])

You can use square bracket notation instead of dot notation. like (Object mutation is highly not recommended)

//to access it u can use square bracket notation like k["objectname"]
let k = {"#test":"some data"}
 alert("data is "+k["#test"])
