Lesson 6 — Objects

Objects

An object groups related data as key: value pairs inside curly braces, and you read a value with a dot: user.name. It describes one thing with many properties.

Why it matters: objects model real-world items — a user, a product, settings — and are the shape of almost all web data (JSON).

Tip: you can also read a property with brackets, user["name"], handy when the key is in a variable.
