Return specific value from nested object javascript

Question

This is the object,

{
    "response": {
        "count": 49472,
        "items": [
            {
                "hello": "james",
                "title": "game",
                "player": "123",
                "home": "syd",

            }
        ]
    }
}

I would like to get a specific value from player and return 123 in the object using javascript. I have tried looking at other posts but I can't get it to work for my case.

I have managed to do this in python using the code below but it's not as simple to me with js.

for items in obj['response']['items']:
        print(items['player'])

    var myObject = {
    "response": {
        "count": 49472,
        "items": [
            {
                "hello": "james",
                "title": "game",
                "player": "123",
                "home": "syd"
            }
        ]
    }
};

myObject.response.items.forEach((v) => {
  console.log(v.player)
});
 // or
 
 myObject.response.items.map(res => console.log(res.player))
 
  // or
  
   console.log(myObject.response.items[0].player)
   //or
   
   console.log(myObject.response.items[0]['player'])

hey just wondering is it possible to turn the forEach code into a for loop doing the same thing. Just so its easier to use the value later.

var obj = var t = {
    "response": {
        "count": 49472,
        "items": [
            {
                "hello": "james",
                "title": "game",
                "player": "123",
                "home": "syd",

            }
        ]
    }
}

t.response.items[0].player
"123"

What you have is an object with an object which contains an array which contains an object. You can access it like so: myObject.response.items[0].player

(Run the code snippet to see the result)

var myObject = {
    "response": {
        "count": 49472,
        "items": [
            {
                "hello": "james",
                "title": "game",
                "player": "123",
                "home": "syd"
            }
        ]
    }
};

console.log(myObject.response.items[0].player);

Yes! Thank you I was trying different versions of this and I must have got something basic wrong.

Would be something like this:

response.items.forEach(item =>
    console.log(item.player)
)
