Question

I’m used to PHP, where I can easily do something like:

$data = array(
  'google' => array('title' => 'Google', 'url' => 'http://google.com'),
  'facebook' => array('title' => 'Facebook', 'url' => 'http://facebook.com'),
  'youtube' => array('title' => 'YouTube', 'url' => 'http://youtube.com')
);

What’s a similar way to create an array or object of data using Javascript?

Answer 1

You’re looking for object literals:

var data = {
    google: { title: "Google", url: "http://google.com" },
    ...
};
