JS associative object with duplicate names

Question

ok, so I have an object like:

var myobject = {
   \"field_1\": \"lorem ipsum\",
   \"field_2\": 1,
   \"field_2\": 2,
   \"field_2\": 6
};

Answer 1

That is not an array that is an object. You'd be better creating a property of the object that is an array and store the different values in there.

var myarray = {
   "field_1": "lorem ipsum",
   "field_array": []
};

myarray.field_array.push(value);

then just loop through that property of the array.

Answer 2

1. Your code has invalid syntax.
2. There are no assocative arrays in Javascript
3. The thing you defined is an Object
4. If you give value to a property 3 times, sure it will contain the last value

Test

var obj = {
   "field_1": "lorem ipsum",
   "field_2": 1,
   "field_2": 2,
   "field_2": 6
};

for ( var i in obj ) {
  console.log(i + " = " + obj[i]);
}

OUTPUT

field_1 = lorem ipsum
field_2 = 6
