How to print an JSON string in javascript?

When I try to print console.log(body.email), the console says its undefined, but when I call console.log(body) it returns me {"email":"[email protected]","password":"Password"}

here is the code below:

 document.getElementById("SingupForm").addEventListener('submit', evt =>{
      evt.preventDefault()
      const form = evt.target
      const body =JSON.stringify({
        email: form.elements.email.value,
        password: form.elements.password.value,
      }) 
      console.log(body.email)
    })

I’ve tried to rename the strings and add them to an external script, but it didn’t work.

    body is a string, but you’re accessing it like an object.

    assign it without the calling to JSON.stringify if you want to keep it as an object

       const body = {
        email: form.elements.email.value,
        password: form.elements.password.value,
   }

    In your code body is a string and not an object and that is why you get undifined for the email property.

    Try this code:

    document.getElementById("SingupForm").addEventListener('submit', evt =>{
      evt.preventDefault()
      const form = evt.target
      const body ={
        email: form.elements.email.value,
        password: form.elements.password.value,
      }
      console.log(body.email)
    })
