How to send dynamic key and value both in jQuery Ajax? [duplicate]

Question

I want to send both the key and value to be dynamic(and the key is dynamic like coming from user input). Then how to send the request. I want something like this:

var requestString;

if(something)
   requestString = "something";
else
   requestString= "else";

    jQuery.ajax({
                        url: handlerUrl,
                        dataType: "json",
                        data: {
                            requestString: request.term
                        }
                    });

Here requestString is a variable and dynamically set. But for current code. the key is itself becoming "requestString" which was ought to be dynamic. How to do this?

Use

jQuery.ajax({
           url: handlerUrl,
           dataType: "json",
           data: requestString + '=' + request.term
      });
