javascript colon operator confusion

Question

I am learning javascript myself. There is a confusion with some javascript,

price = 14;
name = \"Mary\";
apples:5; //This line executing without error
\"orra         


        

Answer 1

: isn't an operator, it forms part of label syntax.

See MDN

label :
statement
label
Any JavaScript identifier that is not a reserved word.

apples is an identifier.

"orranges" is a string literal.

is there any way that I can use it outside of json object ?

You seem to be confusing JSON with object literal syntax.

You can't use a : as the character that separates a property name from a value in an object when you aren't in the process of defining an object.
