You can use an object initialiser for that:

var task = {
    timestamp: "this is a string",
    tasklist: []
};

[] creates an array (an empty one). JavaScript doesn't have "array(s) of object," a standard array can hold anything. (JavaScript does, these days, have typed arrays for other things, like 8-bit integers, but not objects.)

var task = {
   timestamp: new Date().getTime(),
   tasklist: [new Object(), new Object()]

};

This could be one way to do it. Then you can get access to the property in this way:

task.tasklist[i...n]

You could also create an array like this:

var task = []

and then assign the timestamp as a property: 

task.timestamp = //myTimestamp

var task = {};
task.timestamp = 'your string';
task.tasklist = [];

and then add task list objects like:

task.tasklist.push({'id': 5, 'name': 'task list 5'});

or:

var tasklistentry = {};
tasklistentry.id = 5;
tasklistentry.name = 'task list 5';
task.tasklist.push(tasklistentry);
