Object keys are always strings (or converted to string) you can reference
it with dot or with square brakets and string...

foo.bar

does the same than

foo["bar"]

always, but you can do also

var thekey = "key";
foo[thekey]...

Some useful methods:

thekey in foo // will return true if foo has a property named thekey
Object.keys(foo) // returns an array of string with all enumerable
properties
