# Shopify » Custom objects (JSON)

A Shopify JSON field works similarly to the ACF JSON type, albeit without restrictions regarding outermost arrays.\
\
The type allows you to enter field values as raw JSON. As long as you adhere to valid JSON syntax, you are free to define anything you like in your very own structure.\
\
Being a Shopify data type returning a [Metafield object](https://shopify.dev/api/liquid/objects/metafield), the *value* property returns the actual value in Liquid.\
\
So, if you have a JSON field with this content:

```json
{
  "make": "Audi",
  "model": "RS6" 
}
```

You can use it directly in Liquid:

```liquid
{% assign car = product.metafields.accentuate.specs.value %}

<p>My car is the brand new {{ car.make }} {{ car.model }}</p>
```

If you need the custom field as a client-side JavaScript variable, you can do this:

```javascript
<script>
  let car = {{ product.metafields.accentuate.specs.value }}
  alert('My car is the brand new ' + car.make + ' ' + car.model);
</script>
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.accentuate.io/metafield-definitions/fields/field-data-type/shopify-field-types/shopify-custom-objects-json.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
