Before working deeply with objects, you need to know how to create them and how to access the data stored inside.
In JavaScript, objects are created using curly braces {}. Inside an object, data is stored in pairs called properties. Each property has a name (key) and a value.
Learning how to create objects and access their properties is the first step toward working with structured data.
Ways to Create Objects in JavaScript
- Using object literal {}
- Using the new Object() constructor
The object literal method is the most common and recommended way.
This example creates an object named car with three properties.
Each property stores related information about the car.
Dot notation is the most common way to access object properties.
It is simple and easy to read when you know the property name.
Bracket notation is useful when the property name is stored in a variable or has spaces.
By mastering object creation and property access, students gain the foundation needed to work with advanced object features in real-world JavaScript applications.
