Is there a way to write javascript object array in one line?

Question

Is there a way to write this in one line?

  var data = {};
  data["limit"] = [1, 0]; 
  data["where"] = [0]; 
  data["order"] = [];
  data["display"] = [0];

Something like

var data = {["limit"][1,0],["where"][0]...}

Javascript objects can be written in a one-liner like this:

var data = {limit: [1, 0], where: [0], order: [], display: [0]};

It may be useful to include an explanation as to what exactly this is, perhaps a useful link, etc. – jdphenix May 15 '15 at 04:09

You can use an object initializer (the quotes around property names are in fact optional):

var data = {
  'limit': [1,0],
  'where': [0],
  'order': [],
  'display': [0]
};

@vihan1086 I interpret "one line" (and "one-liner") to mean one *statement*, not one physical line. Otherwise for any language which does not use a newline as a delimiter (C family, Java, JavaScript, etc), the entire program can technically be written as one line. As can the original code in the question, frankly! – lc. May 15 '15 at 04:45

My json skills are minimal, but it should be

{"limit":[1,0], "where":[0], "order":[], "display":[0]}

or some permutation of that (order in an object isn't meaningful as far as I know).
