How to use a string as a selector in json data?

Question

I want to use a String as a part of the addressing to json data using jQuery.

 var group = "AA";
 var products = {
        "AA": [
                   { "name": "1", "image": "/" },
                   { "name": "2", "image": "/" },
                   { "name": "3", "image": "/" }
        ]}
var name2 = products.parseSelector(group)[1].name;

The idea is to get 2 as result. But it throws an Exception.

Any help would be appreciated.

PROTIP: When asking a question, include the text of the error/exception. Don't just say "it throws an Exception". — gen_Eric

P.S. This question has nothing to do with JSON. JSON is a string representation of data that just so happens to resemble the code used to create a JavaScript object. You have an object in JavaScript code, you do not have JSON. — gen_Eric

Use bracket notation to access the object property.

var name2 = products[group][1].name;
