The object literal is one of the most powerful approaches for creating objects in JavaScript with properties enclosed with curly braces. JavaScript ES6 introduces the object literals features for creating objects in JavaScript make object handling even easier in all modern browsers by extending the syntax in some ways

JavaScript allows us to define methods of an object using the object literal syntax. Objects contain properties, which are used to describe an object. Values of object properties can either contain primitive data types, like strings, numbers, and Booleans, or other objects/complex data types like arrays, functions, or other objects. We might wonder, what Object Literals are, more importantly, why we even need them.

In plain English, a JavaScript object literal also called an object initializer, is a list of key-value pairs comma-separated inside of curly braces {}, with the keys and the values separated by colons (:). Property has a key (also known as “name” or “identifier”) placed before the colon “:” and a value to the right of it.
