    • 2009, Ted Pattison, Daniel Larson, Inside Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0:
      Because JavaScript objects are not constrained to predefined interfaces as they are with .NET objects, you can set expando properties on any object.
    • 2010, Alexei White, JavaScript Programmer's Reference:
      I talk more about expandos in Chapter 10. This means that you can arbitrarily add new properties to an object whenever you want.
