What is the type of “keys” in JavaScript?

by

In object literal terms, b is a property. Properties are either strings or symbols in JavaScript, although when defining the property name inside an object literal you may omit the string delimiters.

for (key in a) {
    alert(typeof key);
    //-> "string"
}
