Javascript Syntax Explanation - Conditional?

Question

Can someone please explain what the following javascript statement is doing?

var default_hide = {"grid": true };

It looks like some sort of conditional statement similar to a ternary statement?

Answer 1

It's defining an object with a grid property that is set to true which is being assigned to default_hide .

In that context, the braces are defining an Object .

Answer 2

It's declaring a object named "default_hide", with one property named "grid" and its corresponding value "true".

After this declaration, you can do: document.write(default_hide.grid);
