        "'before':'" + before +"'}";

alert(descipt.weight);

how to get weight from the object.

Answer 1

That's not a JSON object, that's a string. You should first parse it to a JSON object with

var desciptObject = JSON.parse(descipt);

and then you can read weight with

weight = desciptObject.weight;

Answer 2

first you need to convert that to a JavaScript object with:

var obj = JSON.parse(descipt);

and after that use like this:

alert(obj.weight);

in fact this is an string and you can not access like a object to nodes.

Answer 3

Use JSON.parse

var jsonObj = JSON.parse(descipt);
var weight = jsonObj.weight;
var weighttype = jsonObj["weight-type"]; // jsonObj.weight-type  will throw error
