title: Getting error trying to extract data from JSON
body: <p>I this JSON as <code>input_data</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"product":["1\/4 Page Ad (Amount: 25.00 USD, Quantity: 1)"],"currency":"USD","total":"25.00","transactionID":"34444622CG671084E","transactionFee":"1.03","transactionFeeCurrency":null,"payerName":"Laurence J Lafleur","payerEmail":"lafleur.julien@gmail.com","fullname":"Laurence J Lafleur","email":"lafleur.julien@gmail.com","transactionid":"34444622CG671084E","shiptoname":"Laurence J Lafleur","addr":"8 East Street ","city":"NATICK","state":"MA","postal":"01760","country":"US"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I am trying to extract the information from the <code>product</code> field: <code>1/4 Page Ad (Amount: 25.00 USD, Quantity: 1)</code></p>
  
  <p>My code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var myvar = JSON.parse(input_data)
  var myret = myvar.product
  return myret
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error: <code>"SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1"</code></p>
  
  <p>I would be grateful for pointers, general missing concepts, etc.</p>
  
  <p>With gratitude,</p>
  
  <p>Julien</p>
