Get array of object’s keys

Is there a way to use hashmaps in javascript. I found this page which shows one way of having hashmaps in javascript. Based on that I am storing the data as below:

var map = new Object();
map[myKey1] = myObj1;
map[myKey2] = myObj2;

function get(k) {
   return map[k];
}

But I want the keySet (all the keys) of the map object just like it is done in Java (map.keySet();).

Can anyone show me how can get all the keys present in this object?

Answer 1

for (var key in map) {
  if (map.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
    alert(key + " -> " + map[key]);
  }
}

actually this way is much better :

var keys = Object.keys(map);
