An object is a data structure that holds information about something, like a person or a product. It has details, such as a name and age, that describe it.
Objects consist of key/value pairs. A key is a unique name that identifies a property, while the value is the information related to that property. For example, in a customer object:
{
"name": "Emmah",
"phone": "123-456-7890",
"email": "emmah@example.com"
}Here, “name,” “phone,” and “email” are keys, and their corresponding values are “Emmah,” “123-456-7890,” and “emmah@example.com.”
You could also have an order object like this:
{
"customer": "Linda",
"item": "Laptop",
"orderDate": "2025-02-10"
}Objects are used to organize specific details about a single item, making it easier to manage information in your scenario.
