带有对象文字的javascript数组的名称是什么？

Question

I'm quite new to Javascript, and I'm trying to develop an application using Google Maps.

I came across this class in Google Maps called GeocoderResults , with documentation here .

In the documentation, it says that a results object is passed in the following form:

However, in all the material I've read and searched on Javascript, the closest thing this looks like is an object literal . The problem is it lacks an equals sign and it's name, results[] represents an array!

It must be some type of structure I've never seen before.

Can someone explain it?

Answer 1

This itself is not an object literal. It is merely a type information about what fields the result (which will be an actual object literal) will contain and how they look. Each of the fields is explained below that in the documentation.

The actual result will look like

{
    results: [
        {
            types: [
                "…",
                …
            ],
            formatted_address: "…",
            address_components: [
                {…},
                …
            },
            partial_match: false,
            geometry: {…}
        },
        …
    ],
    status: "…"
}
