Unable to access JSON property with - dash

Question

I am unable to retrieve a value from a json object when the string has a dash character      profile-id  1234   user id  6789     If I try to reference the parsed jsonObj profile-id it returns ReferenceError   id  is not defined but jsonObj user id will return 6789  I don t have a way to modify the values being returned by the external api call and trying to parse the returned string in order to remove dashes will ruin urls  etc   that are passed as well   Help

jsonObj profile-id is a subtraction expression  i e  jsonObj profile - id   To access a key that contains characters that cannot appear in an identifier  use brackets  jsonObj  quot profile-id quot
