No, curly braces are not necessary, However, one very important reason to use the curly brace syntax is that, without it, there are several debuggers that will not stop on the line inside the if statement. So it may be difficult to know whether the code inside the if statement ran without altering the code (some kind of logging/output statements). This is particularly a problem when using commas to add multiple lines of execution. Without adding specific logging, it may be difficult to see what actually ran, or where a particular problem is. My advice is to always use curly braces.

有一个可读性方面-当你有复合语句时，它可能会非常混乱。缩进有帮助，但对编译器/解释器没有任何意义。

var a;
var b;
var c;

//Indenting is clear
if (a===true)
  alert(a); //Only on IF
alert(b); //Always

//Indenting is bad
if (a===true)
  alert(a); //Only on IF
  alert(b); //Always but expected?

//Nested indenting is clear
if (a===true)
  if (b===true)
    alert(a); //Only on if-if
alert (b); //Always

//Nested indenting is misleading
if (a===true)
  if (b===true)
    alert(a); //Only on if-if
  alert (b); //Always but expected as part of first if?

//Compound line is misleading
//b will always alert, but suggests it's part of if
if (a===true) alert(a);alert(b); 
else alert(c); //Error, else isn't attached

然后是可扩展性方面:

//Problematic
if (a===true)
  alert(a);
  alert(b); //We're assuming this will happen with the if but it'll happen always
else       //This else is not connected to an if anymore - error
  alert(c);

//Obvious
if (a===true) {
  alert(a); //on if
  alert(b); //on if
} else {
  alert(c); //on !if
} 

这种想法是这样的，如果你总是有括号，那么你就知道在这个块中插入其他语句。

大括号是不必要的.....但无论如何都要加进去

....why should you add braces in if statements if they are not necessary? Because there's a chance that it could cause confusion. If you're dealing with a project with multiple people, from different frameworks and languages, being explicit reduces the chances of errors cropping up by folks misreading each other's code. Coding is hard enough as it is without introducing confusion. But if you are the sole developer, and you prefer that coding style, then by all means, it is perfectly valid syntax.

作为一个普遍的哲学:避免写代码，但如果你必须写，那么让它明确。

if (true){console.log("always runs");}

if (true) console.log("always runs too, but what is to be gained from the ambiguity?");
    console.log("this always runs even though it is indented, but would you expect it to?")

^声明:这是个人观点-意见可能会有所不同。请咨询您的CTO以获得个性化的编码建议。如果编码头痛持续，请咨询医生。

在一行语句上使用花括号是没有编程理由的。

这只取决于程序员的偏好和可读性。

您的代码不会因此而崩溃。

javascript有很多问题。看看JavaScript架构师Douglas Crockford谈论的if语句似乎很好，但return语句可能会引入一个问题。

return
{
    ok:false;
}
//silent error (return undefined)

return{
    ok:true;
}
//works well in javascript
