How to convert json array to json object in javascript

Question

I have a json array like in the below image:

I want it to be onyl json object and not array. Like when I do JSON.stringify I get this: [{"total_exec_qty":"286595","total_notional":"21820771.72","total_wt_arr_last_slp":"2.4364","total_num_ords":"1630","total_wt_ivwap_slp":"6.0969","total_wt_arr_slp":"1.7889","total_ord_qty":"576991"}]

But I only want it like this: {"total_exec_qty":"286595","total_notional":"21820771.72","total_wt_arr_last_slp":"2.4364","total_num_ords":"1630","total_wt_ivwap_slp":"6.0969","total_wt_arr_slp":"1.7889","total_ord_qty":"576991"}

How do I get that?

UPDATE: Doing this right now already:

var json_temp = JSON.stringify(json4);
    console.log("json_temp")
    console.log(json_temp);
    var json_temp1 = json_temp[0];
    console.log("json temp1");
    console.log(json_temp1);

But getting the following in console.log: Getting this problem

@ram Please see my update above. I'm doing that already but getting weird output on console.log — Natasha

@JustinHerter there will never be any more sets of data other that what I've shown. Data will always be in the form (only values will differ): [{"total_exec_qty":"286595","total_notional":"21820771.72","total_wt_arr_last_slp":"2.4364","total_num_ords":"1630","total_wt_ivwap_slp":"6.0969","total_wt_arr_slp":"1.7889","total_ord_qty":"576991"}] and I want it to be in the form: {"total_exec_qty":"286595","total_notional":"21820771.72","total_wt_arr_last_slp":"2.4364","total_num_ords":"1630","total_wt_ivwap_slp":"6.0969","total_wt_arr_slp":"1.7889","total_ord_qty":"576991"} — Natasha

I never changed the question. I was already doing what the answer says, but that isn't working. I still want to extract json object from the json array. — Natasha

just reference the object like this:

var array = [{"total_exec_qty":"286595","total_notional":"21820771.72","total_wt_arr_last_slp":"2.4364","total_num_ords":"1630","total_wt_ivwap_slp":"6.0969","total_wt_arr_slp":"1.7889","total_ord_qty":"576991"}];

var object = array[0];

Alternatively you could copy the object and reassign it to the same variable like the following, note: This second method is a bit more expensive.

var data = [{"total_exec_qty":"286595","total_notional":"21820771.72","total_wt_arr_last_slp":"2.4364","total_num_ords":"1630","total_wt_ivwap_slp":"6.0969","total_wt_arr_slp":"1.7889","total_ord_qty":"576991"}];

data = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data[0]));

Here is a working example.

@Natasha your data is an array of arrays and thats why its not working for you. You have multiple datasets coming in so what do you want to do with them?
