How to determine if a Javascript object has only one specific key-value pair?

Question

What would be the easiest way to determine if a Javascript object has only one specific key-value pair?

For example, I need to make sure that the object stored in the variable text only contains the key-value pair 'id' : 'message'

Answer 1

var keys = Object.keys(text);
var key = keys[0];

if (keys.length !== 1 || key !== "id" || text[key] !== "message")
    alert("Wrong object");

Answer 2

If you are talking about all enumerable properties (i.e. those on the object and its [[Prototype]] chain), you can do:

for (var prop in obj) {

  if (!(prop == 'id' && obj[prop] == 'message')) {
    // do what?
  }
}

If you only want to test enumerable properties on the object itself, then:

for (var prop in obj) {

  if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop) && !(prop == 'id' && obj[prop] == 'message')) {
    // do what?
  }
}
