Setting null value for my objects

Question

var JsonClient = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();

// API Url to call
var url = "";

JsonClient.open("POST", url, true);

JsonClient.onload = function () {
    // after processing the response
    json = null;
}
JsonClient.onerror = function (e) {
    actAllergyInd.hide();
    Ti.UI.createAlertDialog({
        title: 'Error',
        message: JsonClient.statusText,
        buttonNames: ['Ok']
    }).show();
};
}

//setting Request Header
JsonClient.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
JsonClient.send(data);
JsonClient = null;

I want to set my JsonClient object to null as well as the Json response which i am getting to null. Am i doing it in the right way?

Why do you care? JavaScript is memory-managed, you do not have to "free" stuff after you use it. — Tomalak

You could use the delete operator:

delete JsonClient;

delete is not a function, it is an operator.

@Tomalak Thank you, I edited my answer. I did read it was an operator but yet I still put it as an function, silly me...
