Iterating through nested arrays with hyphen in object name - arrays

Question

First of all, I know naming array objects with hyphens is completely incorrect, and I'm not the creator of this. I need to call an API within a service, and many objects are named improperly, like {"children-education": [ and { "Kid Stories": [.
I have tried assigning the name to a variable like let edChild = "child-education"and then parsing it to an object, like edChild = JSON.parse(edChild)to no avail. I really have no idea of what I'm doing, nor even if it's possible to do so.
I kinda have the option to call my customer and kindly ask his team to rename the objects to something less... stupid than special characters than I can't possible call in Typescript, but I'd like to learn if there's a way to surpass this in future occasions or if they can't rename it.
Here's an example of the JSON I'm trying to iterate through:
{
"business":
[
{
"anim":
[
{
"child-education": [
{
"Kid Stories": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Three Little Pinkies",
"url": "#",
"description": "shows how the world is beautiful"
},
(... and so on)
Thanks in advance.

You can parse that JSON string like any JSON string, using JSON.parse()
let str = "{\n" +
" \"business\":\n" +
" [\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"anim\":\n" +
" [\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"child-education\": [\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"Kid Stories\": [\n" +
"\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"id\": 1,\n" +
" \"name\": \"Three Little Pinkies\",\n" +
" \"url\": \"#\",\n" +
" \"description\": \"shows how the world is beautiful\"\n" +
" }]}]}]}]}" +
""
console.log(JSON.parse(str));
After that, you can use bracket notation to access any property names
let str = "{\n" +
" \"business\":\n" +
" [\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"anim\":\n" +
" [\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"child-education\": [\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"Kid Stories\": [\n" +
"\n" +
" {\n" +
" \"id\": 1,\n" +
" \"name\": \"Three Little Pinkies\",\n" +
" \"url\": \"#\",\n" +
" \"description\": \"shows how the world is beautiful\"\n" +
" }]}]}]}]}" +
""
const obj = JSON.parse(str);
console.log(obj.business[0].anim[0]['child-education'][0]['Kid Stories'][0]);
