Question

I’m just learning jason and nothings working. I’m trying to creat a object with 3 arrays. I tried top do it 2 ways

this.serverReply={
parent:
{comments: [“ted”,”pop”]},
{links:[“link1″,”link2”]},
{Dates:[“link1″,”link2”]}
};

and

          this.serverReply={          
           {comments: ["ted","pop"]},
           {links:["link1","link2"]},
           {Dates:["link1","link2"]}
       };

I get a syntex error saying invalid propery. I cannot figure out why,

Answer 1

Every property of an object needs to have a name, which is specified like this:

var obj = { name: "value", another: "value2" };

Arrays are specified with square brackets, and do not have named elements:

var arr = ["value", "value2"];

From that point on, it depends on what you want to do. In both your examples you try to specify object properties without giving them names. Try this instead:

this.serverReply={
    comments: ["ted","pop"], 
    links:["link1","link2"], 
    dates:["link1","link2"]
};
