convert param to JSON data inside URL

Question

I have a URL like that and I want to use JSON data coming inside URL

"CUNMXSAKU" : {
            "roomCodes" : "DEAL, JRST, JPOV, JSSW, PJRS, PJOV, PJSW, RMOV, RMOF, PRES"
        },

My URL

 ...._results.html?language=en&hotelInfo={CUNMXSAKU:{roomCodes:DEAL,JRST,JPOV,JSSW,PJRS,PJOV,PJSW,RMOV,RMOF,PRES}}

Is it possible to use it ?? I am able to get var hotelCode = getQueryParameter('hotelInfo'); as a String

{"CUNMXSAKU":{"roomCodes":"DEAL, JRST, JPOV, JSSW, PJRS, PJOV, PJSW, RMOV, RMOF, PRES"}}

But when I am trying hotelCode.roomCodes , its Undefined.

Please help on this. Is it possible to do with javaScript

When you pull them out of the URL, the params are a string, they're not a javascript object.

Use something like this (in addition to what you have there)

var params = getQueryParameter('hotelinfo');
var hotelCode = JSON.parse(params);

Then hotelCode will actually contain a proper, walkable javascript object.
