I have the following object:
var obj = { 'ア' : 'testing', 'ダ' : '2015-5-15', 'ル' : 123, 'ト' : 'Good' }; How do I access the values by its non-ASCII key (it's a Japanese character in this case)?
Can't use obj.ア or obj.'ア' for sure, which will give JavaScript parse error.
You can use a subscript to reference the object:
> var obj = { 'ア' : 'testing', 'ダ' : '2015-5-15', 'ル' : 123, 'ト' : 'Good' }; > undefined > obj['ア'] > "testing" You should also not that object keys and values in JavaScript objects are separated by :(colons) not => (fat commas)
You can use property accessors:
obj['ト']
Example:
var obj = { 'ア': 'testing', 'ダ': '2015-5-15', 'ル': 123, 'ト': 'Good' }; console.log(obj['ト']); > Good MDN: Property Accessors
How about this one:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> </head> <body> <script language=javascript> var obj = { 'ア':'testing', 'ダ':'2015-5-15', 'ル':123, 'ト':'Good' }; alert(obj.ア); </script> </body> </html> 
=>instead of:obj.アworks for me in the Chrome developer console..
