How to create an associative array in JavaScript literal notation

Question

I understand that there are no associative arrays in JavaScript, only objects.

However I can create an array with string keys using bracket

Answer 1

Arrays and Objects are different things.

For an object, you can do things like:

var obj = { "property1": "value1" };
obj.property2 = "value2";

For arrays, you have to do this:

var arr = [];
arr[0] = "value";
