jquery get value by key WITHOUT looping

I have a variable in jquery as follows:

var obj = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3, four: 4, five: 5 };

Is there a way to get value by key WITHOUT iteration.

In my original scenario, the variable "obj" contain lots of entries. And will be called frequently. So looping using $.each will cause performance issue.

If there is another way to declare the above variable, then i can do that also. So if anyone have any other method to get value by key WITHOUT looping, then can you please share.

Thanks in advance.

You can use

var obj = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3, four: 4, five: 5 };
console.log(obj.one); // 1
console.log(obj['two']); // 2

Without iteration, then you have to do it directly like

obj.one = 1
obj.two = 2
obj.three = 3

You can use the member operator(Dot Notation or Bracket Notation) to do it, there is no need for iteration here

obj.one will give 1 same as obj.two will give 2 Ex:

console.log(obj1.one);
console.log(obj1.two);

or if the key is stored in a different variable like var key = 'one' then obj[key] will give 1

var key = 'three';
console.log(obj1[key]);
