but when I am trying to access any specific value with console.log(jsonData.productName) it gives me undefined on console

Maybe I'm being blind but I don't see any "productName" field in your json? — millerbr

data is an array, you will have to iterate the array to access its elements or use a particular index to get the property value e.g console.log(jsonData[0]._id). — chridam

Fist of all, jsonData is an Array, so you need to access specific element first (i.e. jsonData[0]).

Also productName is only defined for some of the array elements, so it will still be undefined for jsonData[0].productName.

So try to find specific element of the array first, and then access its productName property.

jsonData[0]._id

You are receiving an Array.
Only few of the objects in that array contains property 'productName'

So your code would be like :

for(var i=0 ;i<yourArray.length;i++){  'yourArray' is the response that you recieve
 var obj = yourArray[i];

 if(obj.productName){
   // handle code when Object has 'productName' property
 }else{
   // handle code when Object does not have 'productName' property
 }
}
