[removed] Getting a Single Property Name

Question

Given an object like this:

{ name: \"joe\" }

I want to get the value \"name\". I know I can use the for construct to iterate over the prope

Answer 1

Nope, iteration is the only well-supported way to get the property name. So for...in time it is. Just hide it in a function and it'll look fine.

However, it might also be worth thinkin about whether you should be using a different kind of object for your purpose, say, {"property": "age", "value": 24}, or even ["age", 24]
