Create dynamic json element with variables

Question

I want to create the json element dynamically..something like this:

for exam. if

var branch_name = "abc-cde";

Instead of "abc-cde" below I want the variable branch_name, so that I can replace it with other elements. please note the hyphen in abc-cde.

itemsarray["abc-cde_workunit"] = dataResponse.branch_descriptor["abc-cde"].workunit_id;

The above code is in angularjs. Please let me know if anything is not clear.

It's actually simpler than you might think.

itemsarray["abc-cde_workunit"] = dataResponse.branch_descriptor[branch_name].workunit_id;

in left hand side variable, abc-cde also I need as variable. something like this itemsarray["<branch_name>_workunit"]

In that case just replace itemsarray["abc-cde_workunit"] with itemsarray[branch_name_workunit] and make sure you set branch_name_workunit variable to a property of itemsarray.
