  Inside a JSON template I find an entry using `id`, the result title can't be seen using `entry.title` but I can see it with `entry[0].title`. There is another step or encoding I have to use?

  If you are using something like this to get your entry:
  
  ```
  {% set entry = craft.entries.section('blog').limit(1).id('21') %}
  
  ```
  
  then Craft is actually returning an ElementCriteriaModel object, even if it is only one entry.
  
  To ensure that the `entry` variable only contains a single entry, you need to call the `first()` method like this:
  
  ```
  {% set entry = craft.entries.section('blog').limit(1).id('21').first() %}
  
  ```
