How to correctly set up a object in JSON in JavaScript?

Question

I want to map a key "coordinate" to an object with two key-value pairs which are a key of "latitude" mapping to the integer 50 and a key "longitude" mapping to the integer 60.

"coordinate" : [{
    "latitude": 50, "longitude": 60
}]

My question is this the correct way to set up an object in JSON in JavaScript because I keep getting error or typo at "coordinate"?

It's an array containing an object. Remove the [ ] if you want only an object — Jeremy Thille

But what's the error? Knowing what "an error" is would be helpful — Jeremy Thille

JSON is a serialzation format, a String. You have Objects (in whatever language you're using) and you serialize them into a JSON (-string) — Thomas

You can make use of the below code to initialize the key value pair in object

var sampleObject = {"coordinate" : [{
    "latitude": 50, "longitude": 60
}]}

console.log(sampleObject)
