使用JavaScript对象作为关联数组。

关联数组:简单地说，关联数组使用字符串而不是整数作为索引。

使用

var dictionary = {};

JavaScript允许您使用以下语法向对象添加属性:

Object.yourProperty = value;

相同的另一种语法是:

Object["yourProperty"] = value;

如果可以，也可以使用以下语法创建键到值的对象映射:

var point = { x:3, y:2 };

point["x"] // returns 3
point.y // returns 2

可以使用for..in循环构造遍历关联数组，如下所示

for(var key in Object.keys(dict)){
  var value = dict[key];
  /* use key/value for intended purpose */
}

除非你有特别的理由不这样做，否则就用一个普通的对象。JavaScript中的对象属性可以使用哈希表样式的语法引用:

var hashtable = {};
hashtable.foo = "bar";
hashtable['bar'] = "foo";

foo和bar元素现在都可以被引用为:

hashtable['foo'];
hashtable['bar'];

// Or
hashtable.foo;
hashtable.bar;

当然，这意味着你的键必须是字符串。如果它们不是字符串，它们会在内部转换为字符串，所以它仍然可以工作。你的里程可能会有所不同。

你可以像下面这样创建一个:

var字典={名字:“一些程序员”，年龄:24岁，工作:“编写程序”}; //使用键进行迭代 For (var key in dictionary) { console.log("Key: "+ Key + "， "+ "Value: "+ dictionary[Key]); ｝ //使用对象表示法访问键: console.log(" she name is: " + dictionary.Name)

var associativeArray = {};
associativeArray["one"] = "First";
associativeArray["two"] = "Second";
associativeArray["three"] = "Third";

如果你来自面向对象的语言，你应该看看这篇文章。

由于JavaScript中的每个对象都像哈希表一样，并且通常是作为哈希表实现的，所以我就这样…
