Array Damon? Vector Damon? I don't get it.

I would say JSON Bourne but every member within the curlys needs to be a key value pair, so this isn't JSON.

He was always very forgetful, Mr. Bourne... and well spotted! 😉

Yeah, {} should be [] so it would look something like this:

[""]

Could double entendre it and do

[["😃", 0],
 [0, "😃"]]

For a JSON Bourne Identity

["🙂"] and [] and "🙂" are valid, but anything within {} needs to be a key value pair.

Me neither, but I bet it's still valid JS syntax

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. In JavaScript, Objects without explicit keys will use the value as the key. At least that’s how it works in Chrome devtools output. 🤷‍♂️

This is insane, but ultimately, FAR from the most insane thing JavaScript has done to me this week, so I'll let it slide.
