Creating objects in JavaScript is straightforward: you just need a set of opening and closing curly brackets. Inside the brackets you put key value pairs that store data.

const dog = {
    name: 'Duke'
}

The key is on the left side, name, and the value on the right, Duke. The value can be any data type you want, for example it could be a number, a boolean, a string, an array, or another object.

When declaring key names, you can use numbers, letters, and underscores, but dashes and spaces aren't allowed unless you wrap the key name in quotation marks.
