{ key: 'value' }
> d2 = {"key" : "value"}
{ key: 'value' }

Why is d1 different from d2 ?

It isn’t, you’d get the same result if you just repeated the first line with
d2instead ofd1. However, the two objects you’re creating are different objects, and so they are not==.==with object references checks to see if the two operands refer to the same object (Section 11.9.3 of the spec). What you have there is two objects which both have a property calledkeywith the value “value”.
