👁Expected Output
Vue:true
🔍Line-by-line
LineMeaning
const api = { framework: 'Vue', documented: true };Defines state, data, or a focused Vue example value.

💡Security considerations
  • 1Treat external input as untrusted until it is validated.
  • 2Avoid hardcoded secrets and never print sensitive values in examples or logs.
