JavaScript Object Reference
JavaScript Objects
Objects are one of JavaScript's data types.
Objects are used to store key/value (name/value) collections.
A JavaScript object is a collection of named values.
The following example creates a JavaScript object with four key/value properties:
Example
const person = {
firstName: "John",
lastName: "Doe",
age: 50,
eyeColor: "blue"
};
