javascript - JSON nested objects parsing with BodyParser in node.js -

i have node.js server receiving json object put:

{      stats = {           abdominal=0,           bicep=0,           deltoids=0,           erector_spinae=0,           gastro_soleus=0,           gluteus=0,           hamstrings=0,           lat_dor_rhom=0,           obliques=0,           pectoralis=0,           quadriceps=0,           trapezius=0,           triceps=0      },      name=name,      _id=userid,      level=1,      experience=200 } 

i use chunk of code try , access data:

user.name = req.body.name; user.level = req.body.level; user.experience = req.body.experience;  user.stats = {      abdominal: req.body.stats["abdominal"],      bicep: req.body.stats["bicep"],      deltoids: req.body.stats["deltoids"],      erector_spinae: req.body.stats["erector_spinae"],      gastro_soleus: req.body.stats["gastro_soleus"],      gluteus: req.body.stats["gluteus"],      hamstrings: req.body.stats["hamstrings"],      lat_dor_rhom: req.body.stats["lat_dor_rhom"],      obliques: req.body.stats["obliques"],      pectoralis: req.body.stats["pectoralis"],      quadriceps: req.body.stats["quadriceps"],      trapezius: req.body.stats["trapezius"],      triceps: req.body.stats["triceps"] }; 

the name, level, , experience values update fine accessing stats object's members doesn't seem work. when simple console.log(req.body["stats"]["abdominal"]); undefined result. console.log(req.body["stats"]); work, though, , prints out whole object. thoughts why accessing these variables isn't working?

well didn't solve problem decided there no benefit having nested object made 1 layer. fixed issues having.
