How to create Hash object/array using jquery?

Question

I know there is a Hash() object in the Javascript prototype framework, but is there anything in Jquery like this?

As I would like to stick with one javascript framew

I think you don't need jQuery for this.

var hashtable = {
    hash: {},
    exists: function(key){
       return this.hash.hasOwnProperty(key);
    },
    get: function(key){
        return this.exists(key)?this.hash[key]:null;
    },
    put: function(key, value){
        this.hash[key] = value;
    }
}
