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。

不直接回答问题，但下面是关于一行中的if条件的简短语法

Ex:

var i=true;
if(i){
  dosomething();
}

可以这样写:

var i=true;
i && dosomething();

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.

我想指出的是，你也可以把花括号去掉else。正如约翰·瑞西格在这篇文章中看到的。

if(2 == 1){
    if(1 == 2){
        console.log("We will never get here")
    }
} else 
    console.log("We will get here")

不存在可维护性问题!

你们所有人的问题就是到处都用分号。多个语句不需要花括号。如果你想添加一个语句，只需使用逗号。

if (a > 1)
 alert("foo"),
 alert("bar"),
 alert("lorem"),
 alert("ipsum");
else
 alert("blah");

这是有效的代码，将像您期望的那样运行!
