Access Object Properties in JavaScript
JavaScript·2 min read·Jan 1, 2026
The value of object properties can be referenced and accessed using three different syntaxes based on the required use case.
The dot notation
To access and use the value of a property using its key, you can use the dot notation:
object.keyobject.key.nestedKeyNote: When working with nested keys, if any of the intermediate keys evaluates to
nullorundefined, JavaScript will throw aTypeError.
Example
Let's consider this object:
const landmark = { name: 'Place du Trocadero', type: 'View point', location: { address: 'Place du Trocadéro et du 11 Novembre, 75016 Paris, France', coordinates: { latitude: 48.8628402, longitude: 2.287142Unlock the program 🚀
