JSON parsing is not working

So, I'm making a "shop" and the code in script.js shows how I'm going to be saving data, and I have some JSON in the third item of the array for storing the user's shopping cart, though when I want it to get the price of cattabby in the JSON, it gets "undefined". Any help?

Arrays start at index 0. You tried to access the fourth item, which is a boolean lol

Correct code:


var saver = ["password", "email", '{"cattabby": 340, "plasma4ku75intv": 8500, "hpss": 16.50}', false]
var json = saver[2];
var objCart = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(json));

document.write(objCart.cattabby);

Didn't work :/

You stringified it so it became a string silly

Just parse it directly

The reason it is undefined is because it cannot happen. You can't do that. But if you are stringifying that, it probably will though. Stringing it.

You cannot JSON parse an array. If you try stringifying, you will see, as the name suggests, turns it into a string. Parsing will do the opposite, turn a string back to its original form.

could you also explain why you're trying to parse it? Doesn't make sense to me
