# JSON Job Example: Fields with non alphanumeric characters

# Overview

Since fields with non-alphanumeric characters, excluding _ and -, are not accessible by name, use square brackets and single quotes to access the field, for example ['x.y'].

# JSON

  "v": 1,
  "x": {
    "a.b": [
      1,
      2,

    ]
  },
  "x.y": "v1",
  "x y": "v2",
  "z.y": {
    "a": [
      1,
      2
    ],
    "b.c": "v2"
  }
}
