	Object literal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Computer Science, a literal is an expression in source code which defines a fixed value.
		Technically, a literal will be assigned a value at compile time, while a variable or constant will be assigned at runtime.
		This concept is extended in object-oriented languages, although languages do not necessarily support representation of objects by literals.

		If the object declaration includes the assignment compound delimiter followed by an expression, the expression specifies an initial value for the declared object; the type of the expression must be that of the object.
		An object that is not a constant is called a variable (in particular, the object declared by an object declaration that does not include the reserved word constant is a variable).
		In the case of a component that is itself a composite object and whose value is defined neither by an explicit initialization nor by a default expression, any implicit initial values for components of the composite object are defined by the same rules as for a declared object.

	JSLit
		Literals are used to represent fixed values in JavaScript.
		In addition, a literal used in a function is created each time the function is called.
		An object literal consists of a list of zero or more pairs of property names and associated values of an object, enclosed in curly braces ({}).

	Core JavaScript 1.5 Guide:Literals - MDC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		When you create an array using an array literal, it is initialized with the specified values as its elements, and its length is set to the number of arguments specified.
		A floating-point literal must have at least one digit and either a decimal point or "e" (or "E").
		A leading 0 (zero) on an integer literal indicates it is in octal; a leading 0x (or 0X) indicates hexadecimal.

	Values, Variables, and Literals
		Objects and functions are the other fundamental elements in the language.
		An array literal is a list of zero or more expressions, each of which represents an array element, enclosed in square brackets ([]).
		An object literal is a list of zero or more pairs of property names and associated values of an object, enclosed in curly braces ({}).

		If the language of a object is represented as a property; that statement could be reified in the same way as all other statmeents.
		Should it (a) Create a new text object and change the description statement to point to the new object (b) Change the value of the text object The answer to this is up to the application.
		If all literals would be modeld as a resource having a value property, we wouldn't have to make any diffrence between literals and other resources.

	CLHS: Section 3.2.4.1
		The fact that the file compiler represents literal objects externally in a compiled file and must later reconstruct suitable equivalents of those objects when that file is loaded imposes a need for constraints on the nature of the objects that can be used as literal objects in code to be processed by the file compiler.
		The file compiler must cooperate with the loader in order to assure that in each case where an externalizable object is processed as a literal object, the loader will construct a similar object.
		The set of objects that are externalizable objects are those for which the new conceptual term ``similar'' is defined, such that when a compiled file is loaded, an object can be constructed which can be shown to be similar to the original object which existed at the time the file compiler was operating.

	Working with Objects
		This is how objects are implemented in JavaScript: the object's name is just the associative array-name, its property-names are the character-string keys, and the object's property-values are the values associated with the keys.
		Using object initializers is sometimes referred to as creating objects with literal notation.
		If an object is created with an object initializer in a top-level script, JavaScript interprets the object each time it evaluates the expression containing the object literal.

	JS1028: Expected identifier or string (JScript)
		An incorrect literal syntax is used to declare an object literal.

		An object literal (also called an "object initializer") consists of a comma-separated list of property:value pairs, all enclosed within brackets.

	wg:OOJS - overhyped and overcomplicating
		But object-oriented code is much easier to read than object based code - you of all people can't deny how terse and difficult to follow an entire script written as an object literal is. OO is much more developer-friendly, which is particularly relevant in multi-programmer projects.
		That gets pretty messy if the state you're operating on and the functions which operate on that state are separate (for example, an object literal containing an array of object literals representing the state and a load of functions which operate on that state).
		If you are, and you have a sufficiently interesting problem to solve, modelling it as a set of interrelated objects, each of which looks after their own concerns, is likely to be the more elegant, maintainable and reusable design.

	Ajaxian » Show Love to the Object Literal
		A Javascript tip from Chris Heilmann, who reckons the object literal is "pretty close to sliced bread".
		Some libraries go further and offer functions that have to be new()'d to form an object, but if you all you want is a separate namespace, a singleton object literal is a good way to go.
		I personally love JSON/object literal notation, and my only problem with it was how to implement things such as classes, inheritance, public and private methods in a way thats consistent with object literal notation.

		Two formulae are equivalent if there is a 1:1 mapping between variable names of one and variable names in the other which used as subsitution bindings on one gives a formula equal to the other.
		Literals are identified by their string value, their datatype (or absence thereof) and their language code (or absencethereof).
		Value is the relation between a node (which happens to be a literal, list etc,..) and the value it takes.

		Object structure (including an object’s constructor) is handled somewhat differently to most languages in Javascript.
		Aggregation, as a relationship, is reliant on the ability to pass object and function parameters by reference.
		Hmm…if you think objects have to be statically-typed for the language to be considered “object-oriented,” then you exclude Smalltalk, which invented the entire concept.

	JSON for the masses
		Albeit the confusion between objects and global variables, the distinction between the two should be that variables will now sit within the objects to which they pertain to.
		No, Object templates aren’t real things and they surely aren’t part of the D.O.M., but it is more or less of a way of creating a generic Object set up that will hold my page architecture.
		I also encourage changing the title of the article to “object notation for the masses”, and (ideally) remove the confusing JSON references, or note that you use the name tag very liberally for what the words mean, not what the standard that also picked up those words for a name means.

	JSON - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		JSON (pronounced as IPA [dʒeɪsən], or like the English given name "Jason"), which stands for "JavaScript Object Notation", is a lightweight computer data interchange format.
		JSON is a subset of the object literal notation of JavaScript but its use does not require JavaScript.
		Some programmers, especially those familiar with the C family of languages, find JSON more natural than XML, but other developers can find its sparse notation confusing, particularly when dealing with deeply nested or strongly hierarchical data.

		Literal notation help us save typing time, because we don't have to declare the variable type or instantiate it with the new operator.
		Well, in Javascript, an object is much like an associative array in that the indexes (properties in object-speak) are strings, and not integers.
		The object literal creates an object (which in JS can also be treated like an associative array).

		This is particularly important for objects that act as collections, providing methods that act on those collections.
