In JS, what is this feature called?

Question

I'm trying to learn about this feature of javascript I keep seeing in code, but I don't know the name of the construction to google for...

var Stats = {
  onLoad: function(e) {
    // content
    this.variable++;
  },

  variable: 1
};

Is this way of organising functions and variables based on JSON?

Answer 1

It's an "Object Literal" - see the JavaScript Guide.
