How to parse through JSON file using javascript?

Question

I'm trying to parse through the following JSON file using Javascript. Can somebody help me with how to retrieve the data from this kind of JSON structure?

{
    "game_schedule": [
            {
                "day1":{
                    "date": "05/21/2016",
                    "time": ["09:06 am", "12:00 pm", "08:05 pm"],
                    "game": [
                        "SF Giants vs NY Mets",
                        "LA Dodgers vs SD Padres",
                        "SF Giants vs SD Padres"
                        ]
                },
                "day2":{
                    "date": "05/22/2016",
                    "time": ["09:06 am", "04:09 pm"],
                    "game": [
                        "LA Dodgers vs SF Gaints",
                        "LA Dodgers vs NY Mets"
                        ]

            }
        }
    ]  
}

json is javascript. Did you did the json from server? In that case what have gotten is probably a string? Show your parsing code. — randominstanceOfLivingThing

When a JSON file is parsed (with JSON.parse), it becomes a JavaScript dictionary and can be accessed in the normal ways. — Hawken MacKay Rives

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking? What have you tried? — Hawken MacKay Rives

@SureshKoya - JSON is not Javascript. JSON is a string representation of data that happens to look a lot like JavaScript code. — nnnnnn

var obj = JSON.parse( json_string );

// obj['game_schedule'][0]['day1']['date'] == '05/21/2016'

Thanks for the reply. Can you please tell how to do it if JSON string is in a file?

You'd need to specify how the file is stored. Where it's located. How it's accessed etc. Try googling that bit first. It might be a separate question for you.
