Question

I want to convert the following PHP code to JavaScript, This is an array of key/value pairs in PHP:

PHP code:

$countries = array("AF"=>"AFGHANISTAN","AX"=>"ALAND ISLANDS");

What’s the best way to do this in jQuery or JavaScript?

Answer 1

var countries = {
  "AF": "AFGHANISTAN",
  "AX": "ALAND ISLANDS"
}

Then, to get the value for a given key, use one of the following:

var af = countries["AF"];
var ax = countries.AF;
