I'm using node.js. I read an object from a file as JSON using.

vc_channels.json file:

{
  "​hangout-room": "hangout-room is a voice and/or video room for anything sfw and not necessarily related to meditation."
}

code to read:

  fileContent = fs.readFileSync('./vc_channels.json');
  vc_channels = JSON.parse(fileContent);

but then when I try to access:

          console.log(vc_channels);
          console.log(channel.name);
          item.topic = vc_channels[channel.name];
          console.log(item.topic);

The result is undefined: console.log

{
  '​hangout-room': 'hangout-room is a voice and/or video room for anything sfw and not necessarily related to meditation.'
}
hangout-room
undefined

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrongly?
