Cannot parse JSON file

Question

I have following JSON:

[
   {
      "_id":"1",
      "a":"a",
      "b":"b",
      "c":"c",
      "__v":0
   },
   {
      "_id":"2",
      "d":"d",
      "e":"e",
      "f":"f",
      "__v":0
   }
]

If I do

console.log(myjson[0].a)

And I`m getting following error: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'myjson[0].a')

If I do

console.log(myjson)

Then I get

[Object, Object]

How can I get the data from that JSON?

Your need to parse the JSON first using `JSON.parse(myjson)`. — Yousaf, Aug 16 '20 at 17:36
This is probably a synchronicty problem. Show where you get the json and where you try to access the objects? — charlietfl, Aug 16 '20 at 17:37
@Yousaf It would log as string not array of objects if it wasn't already parsed — charlietfl, Aug 16 '20 at 17:38
@esea123 Please post the full snippet of your code where you retrieve the json and then where you should use the json retrieved. It will help us a lot. — Dwhitz, Aug 16 '20 at 17:39

If I use JSON.parse, then I`m getting following error: **SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier "object"** — esea123, Aug 16 '20 at 18:36

I've found a solution. All I had to do was just a make a clone of that object.

let note = Object.assign({}, this.props.data.notesData);

And then

console.log(note[0].a);
