What's the difference between table = {key = value} and table = {["key"] = value}?

I've seen the following:

table = {
    key = value
}
table = {
    ["key"] = value
}

What are the differences?

Absolutely nothing. It’s called syntactic sugar and is meant to make the syntax of a language more clean. The latter example is used when the key has white space, numerical operators, or begins with a number.

Syntax sugar is just an alternative way for you to type the same code. It will otherwise function in exactly the same way. Link150 1355 — 5y
