JavaScript push to array

Question

How do I push new values to the following array?

json = {"cool":"34.33","alsocool":"45454"} 

I tried json.push("coolness":"34.33");, but it didn't work.

Answer 1

It's not an array.

var json = {"cool":"34.33","alsocool":"45454"}; json.coolness = 34.33; 

or

var json = {"cool":"34.33","alsocool":"45454"}; json['coolness'] = 34.33; 

you could do it as an array, but it would be a different syntax (and this is almost certainly not what you want)

var json = [{"cool":"34.33"},{"alsocool":"45454"}]; json.push({"coolness":"34.33"}); 

Note that this variable name is highly misleading, as there is no JSON here. I would name it something else.
