Question

This is my JSON object:

{ text: 'stuff',
  user: 'user1
}

when I run a typeof jsonObj, I get object. When I run an jsonOb.length, I get undefined. When I tried to access the text property via console.log(jsonObj.text), I get undefined.

So how can I properly access everything in JavaScript?

I don’t want to use jQuery as this is all node.js programming so it’s serverside.

UPDATED – full JSON

{ text: '@junk_666 おかえりか',
  user: 
   { display_name: 'mono',
     screen_name: 'monochrm',
     klout_score: null,
     location_str: '画面の前',
     utc_offset: '32400' },
  venue_id: 1304409836517,
  match_type: 'twitter',
  tweet_id: '116494264137023489',
  created_at_unix: 1316609371,
  meta: 
   { matchedPhrase: 'junk',
     venueName: 'deletemepls really long name' },
  tags: [ '' ],
  indexed_at_unix: 1316609416 }

Try this:

{ text: 'stuff',
  user: 'user1'
}

You left off an apostrophe.

Now that you’ve posted your full JS code (that’s not JSON, as @josnidhin points out)… works fine in jsFiddle. http://jsfiddle.net/Rs9R4/ I don’t believe a JS Object has .length, just Arrays.
