How to remove object by key in Javascript array?

Question

I have an array like this one:

[{
  '0': [7]
}, {
  references: [0]
}, {
  '1': [8]
}, {
  references: [9]
}, {
  '2': [20]
}, {
  references: [50]
}]

I want to remove all objects containing the reference key. Any suggestions?

not pop or splice, filter

var a = [
           { 0:[7]}, 
           { references:[0]}, 
           { 1:[8]}, 
           {references:[9]}, 
           { 2:[20]}, 
           { references:[50]}
];

var filteredA = a.filter(function(item){ return !('references' in item) });

Use object in literal notation. Then you can find the key by hasOwnProperty method.

var a = [
           { 0:[7]}, 
           { references:[0]}, 
           { 1:[8]}, 
           {references:[9]}, 
           { 2:[20]}, 
           { references:[50]}
]
for(i=0; i<a.length; i++) { 
    if(a[i].hasOwnProperty('references')) { 
        a.splice(i, 1);
    } 
}
