What are JavaScript Objects?
In JavaScript, objects allow you to store and organize data in a structured way. Objects are collections of key-value pairs, where each key is a string, symbol or number and each value can be of any data type, including other objects, functions, and primitive values.
For example, think of a car. It’s an object, with the properties like color, model and manufacture year.
// object
const car = {
color: "black",
modelName: "Fortuner",
yearOfManufacture: "2021",
};
Here, the term car represents an object. The keys are color, modelName, and yearOfManufacture, and their corresponding values are "black", "Fortuner", and "2021".
To put it simply, a JavaScript object is like a container that lets you store and organize properties and methods related to something.
Objects are used for representing complex data structures, organizing code, and creating classes and instances through object-oriented programming.
