Question

Does JQuery support Dictionaries (key, value) collection ?

I would like to set the following data in a structure

[1, false]
[2, true]
[

jQuery, no. But JavaScript does. There are only two structures in JavaScript, arrays and objects.

Objects can be used as dictionary, where the properties are the "keys":

var dict = {
    1: true,
    2: true,
    3: false
};

Properties of objects can be either accessed with dot notation, obj.property (if the property name is a valid identifier, which a digit as used above is not) or with array access notation, obj['property'].
