• Objects are very important in JavaScript.

• We need to understand and distinguish between the terms:

  1. Name-value pair - a name which maps to a single value. This is the basic for variables. This is singular.
  2. Object - a “collection” of name value pairs.

• Other programming languages may have other notions of Objects, but in JavaScript, it means a collection of name-value pairs.

• Value of a name may be an object (collection of name value pairs) itself, that’s fine. Simply said, nesting is possible.
