Objects in JavaScript

  • Objects in JavaScript are complex data types used to represent real-world entities;
  • Objects consist of key-value pairs, where each key (property) has an associated value;
  • Keys (property names) can be strings, and values can be of any valid JavaScript data type;
  • Objects can store nested and grouped data for organizing complex information.

Object Creation and Property Naming

  • Object literals enclosed in curly braces {} are a common way to create objects in JavaScript;
  • Object keys (property names) can be enclosed in quotes (single or double) or left unquoted, with certain naming rules;
  • Quoted keys allow for arbitrary strings with spaces and special characters;
  • Unquoted keys should start with a letter or specific characters like _, $, or any Unicode character.

Accessing Object Properties

  • Two common methods for accessing object properties are dot notation and square brackets;
  • Dot notation is used when the property name is known in advance, while square brackets are useful when the name is unknown or stored in a variable;
  • Nested properties are accessed using dot notation with a path separated by dots.

Object Methods

  • Object methods are functions defined within objects, allowing data and related functionality to be coupled;
  • The this keyword refers to the object calling the method, enabling access to its properties;
  • Object methods offer logical organization, data encapsulation, and improved code readability;
  • Methods can access object properties using the this keyword and interact with them using dot notation.
