jquery get value by key WITHOUT looping

Question

I have a variable in jquery as follows:

var obj = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3, four: 4, five: 5 };

Is there a way to get value by key WITHOUT iteration.

In my original scenario, the variable "obj" contain lots of entries. And will be called frequently. So looping using $.each will cause performance issue.

If there is another way to declare the above variable, then i can do that also. So if anyone have any other method to get value by key WITHOUT looping, then can you please share.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can use

var obj = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3, four: 4, five: 5 };
console.log(obj.one); // 1
console.log(obj['two']); // 2
