title: JSON parsing and stringify
body: <p>I am currently working on a Javascript project where I have to parse tons of data. The project requires that I parse some JSON data and bring specific data into another array. Right now, I am using the JSON.stringify method and I can console.log all of the data that I need. The data looks something like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [
      {
          "type": "Feature",
          "geometry": {
              "type": "Polygon",
              "coordinates": [
                  [
                      [
                          -85.3865810000125,
                          33.90171899971196
                      ],
                      [
                          -85.38659500025622,
                          33.9017919996593
                      ],
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>yes, this is not all that data-it is about 1200 pages long! I only pasted in the top segment of it. All I really need is how to get to the coordinates aspect of it and into an array. So what I am currently doing is this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>var work = JSON.stringify(response, null, 4)
  console.log(work);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which gives me the above response. However, I am not that familiar with JSON.stringify so if I do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>console.log(work.type);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Attempting to see what the value is for type, I get a response of undefined. Now if I try doing this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>var work = JSON.parse(response)
  console.log(work);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a response of:  VM296:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1</p>
  
  <p>Thus, I cannot get the data parsed which I want to get to which will be the coordinates data. Any help with using stringify would great help me. I have read a lot about how it turns the data into a string but have not really seen a lot about how to parse it. Do I have to use parse? Thank you for your help!</p>
