Unable to read JSON object value in Node.js?

Question

I am trying to read the value of a Json object with a given key. However, my key is a bit complicated thus i get undefined on the console. I am sure i am not using it the right way ? can someone point my mistake ?

Json key: value

relevant=(pooled + assigned + unknown + dropping) : 230

Node.js

    data = JSON.parse(buffer);

    var dump = "  relevant=(pooled + assigned + unknown + dropping)  ";
    console.log(data.totals.dump);

There is no JSON here...

First of all you should not call like data.totals.dump it will search for a key dump in data.totals.

use data.totals[dump] instead. Then it'll search for key what is value of dump.

and for key purpose better do once Object.keys(data.totals) to see what are the keys in my object.
