Extracting latitude and longitude from ParseGeopoint in cloud code

Question

I hope and feel like this is a simple question, but can't figure it out. Working with Parse Cloud code, I want to get the latitude and longitude from a Parse Geopoint.

  var loc = new Parse.GeoPoint(request.object.get('location'));
  console.log(loc);

console shows:

{"__type":"GeoPoint","latitude":55.012,"longitude":5.012}

How do I extract those values?

You need to use JSON to read the object.
Jquery gives you this tool to read json data:

loc = $.parseJSON(loc);

That gives you a readable object.
then get the data By: loc.latitude AND loc.longitude
