Hi,  
I have used scan barcode action and scanned a barcode. i got the data in json format. Can i know how to split this data.  
sample data:  
{“timestamp”:1638615738807.238,“barcodeType”:“datamatrix”,“text”:"[)\>\u101d06\u001d13V808883381\u001d1PSF,SZ2,RB41I ,265- x 947, \s001d1GY1H1715A1 \u001d16D20210813\u001d14D20250813\u001d\u001e05"}

From this format i need only the “barcodeType”.  
any solution will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
