How to make a JSON object?

Question

I want to create the following JSON object, as seen from a console log:

Object
    .   member: Object
    .   id: 8286

I've been trying:

'member' :[{'id': 8286}]

but get the following error: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :"

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Answer 1

var member = {
    id: 8286
};

this allows you to access it like

member.id

You could have also meant something like:

var data = {
    member: {
        id: 8286
    }
};

which you would access like so:

data.member.id

If this is not what you want, please clarify in your post cause I'm not sure I'm following your request correctly.

Answer 2

You're missing the curly braces surrounding the object. As in:

var x = {'member': [{'id':8286}]};
