Question

I have json data with a colon in the label (see responsedata) which I\'m finding difficult to access in Angular with the following code:

Answer 1

I'll assume I know the answer to my question from the comments and post what would be my response:

Assumption

Your JSON parses fine but your code can't access something in the resulting data structure

Answer

Use square bracket notation with a string:

var x = i['autn:numhits'];

The same can be used when you have a property name in a variable. Using your same example:

var propertyName = 'autn:numhits';
var x = i[propertyName];

Addendum

For Angular template, try

{{i['autn:numhits']}}

Answer 2

Use brackets to access it like a dictionary rather than dot notation. Replace {{i.autn:numhits}} with {{i['autn:numhits']}}

As a heads up, if you want to wrap autn:numhits with double quotes you will need to html escape them.
