Creating Object Literals

Object literals provide a straightforward way to define key-value pairs and create objects in a single statement. This can be particularly useful when you want to create a single instance of an object with specific properties and values.

Syntax

To create an object literal, you use the curly braces {}. Inside the curly braces, you define the properties of the object using the key: value syntax. The key represents the name of the property, and the value represents the value assigned to that property.

1let myObject = {
2  key1: value1,
3  key2: value2,
4  // ...
5};

Example

Let's take a look at an example to see how object literals are used:

1let person = {
2  name: "John Doe",
3  age: 30, 
4  profession: "Software Developer"
5};

In this example, we have created an object literal called person. It has three properties: name, age, profession, and greet. The name and profession properties store string values, whitle the age is stored as a number.
