How to put a dot in the key?

Question

I'm trying to perform a post using angular js. In Angular, you pass the data as an object. Because of the server, I need the keys in the object to conatin dots, like the first one here:

$scope.quiz= {
    entry.358412101: 'asdf',
    formkey: '1F9trPeu9DA4W0CjADN4a1fl3Jh682ZPF8remWB21RhI',
    draftResponse: '[]'
}

Is this at all possible?

I would love a comment on the downvote, maybe I can learn something! — Himmators, Sep 04 '13 at 08:41
@jon I kindly disagree, while the answer is the same, the question is different, because I didn't know ou were suppose to put quotes around the key I would have never found that question! — Himmators, Sep 04 '13 at 08:42
That's why you asked the question and other people who do know about the relationship vote that it's a dupe. The point is that answers already exist (and they are much better than what will be found here), so both you and future visitors are better served by a link to the dupe. It has nothing to do with you personally realizing the similarity. — Jon, Sep 04 '13 at 08:47
I do want to close it, and then it will look like [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17820666/formatting-a-date-string-php). Closing != deleting. — Jon, Sep 04 '13 at 08:50

Exactly as Jon said:

$scope.quiz= {
    "entry.358412101": 'asdf',
    formkey: '1F9trPeu9DA4W0CjADN4a1fl3Jh682ZPF8remWB21RhI',
    draftResponse: '[]'
}
