JavaScript Associative Array

An array with named indexes are called Associative Array.

JavaScript does not have the concept of Associative Array. But it treat them as an object (as array itself an object).

Using Associative Array

Tips: It is not recommended to have this kind of key/value pair instead use the object directly.

Example

HTML Online Editor
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script> var bike = []; // bike[key] = value; bike["company"] = "Honda"; bike["model"] = "CBR 1000RR"; bike["color"] = "Red"; document.write("I bought " +bike["model"]); </script> </body> </html>

Using Object

The following example is an alternate way for the previous example.

Example

HTML Online Editor
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script> var bike = { company: "Honda", model: "CBR 1000RR", color: "red" }; document.write("I bought " +bike.model); </script> </body> </html>
