I want to create an object some thing like this
var key = "key";
var obj={};
obj[key] = "value";
My required output is
{ "key":"valie"}
Key type must be string because i have keys like #12:5 , #12:89 ( orientDB ids ).
REASON:-
Because embeddedList of orientDB is not accepting any key without quotes.
Thanks
You're probably looking for JSON syntax.
Here's output from my console.
var key = "key"; //var not Var
var obj={}; //same here
obj[key] = "value";
"value"
obj
Object {key: "value"} //key is not in quotes, need to stringify!
JSON.stringify(obj);
"{"key":"value"}"
Object literals in javascript can be declared with quoted keys:
{
"Okeli-dokeli": "Flanders",
"Doh!": "Simpson!"
}
You can also dynamically assign values to a key in javascript with the bracket syntax:
var x = {};
x["A B C"] = "foo";
The JSON format is based on a subset of javascript but has object keys which are always quoted. Therefore converting any javascript object to JSON will "stringify" the keys:
> JSON.stringify( { a : 'b' } )
> "{"a":"b"}"
In the off chance you are not expecting nested objects, this can easily work as well:
var key = "key";
var obj={};
obj[key] = "value";
var s = "{\r\n";
for (var p in obj) s+= ' "'+p+'": "' + obj[p] + '"\r\n';
s += "}\r\n";
Also, it's var, not Var (no capital first letter).
