Hi Varsha Use square bracket notation instead : Example : var string = "{\"parse\":{\"title\":\"Wiki\",\"revid\":491629701,\"text\":{\"*\":\"Text\"}}}"; var json = $.parseJSON(string); console.log(json.parse.text["*"]); Once look at this links to : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4253367/how-to-escape-a-json-string-containing-newline-characters-using-javascript http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?56528-Handling-JSON-with-special-characters http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10133082/escape-all-special-characters-in-a-string-that-is-sent-by-jquery-ajax http://united-coders.com/christian-harms/the-art-of-escaping-described-examples-and-worst-test-data/
