Difference between “{}” and “new Object()” [duplicate]

Answer 1

No difference in my view , Both are initializing the object. nothing else , it is a shortcut.

Answer 2

Nothing. {} just a short hand for new Object()

Its same logic as your full name is 'Mark Zuckerberg' and people call you ' Hi Mark'

Answer 3

There is no difference (technically). {} is just a shortcut for new Object().

However, if you assign an object literal, you may directly form a new object with multiple properties.

var myData = {
    name:   'ATOzTOA',
    size:   'atoztoa'
};

..which might feel more convenient. Also, it reduces the access on the object and is ultimately faster. But that is about microoptimizations. More important is that its a lot less to type.
