Put-allows you to refactor this:

if(!thor.info ) {
thor.info={}
}

if(!thor.info.name){
thor.info.name={}
}
thor.info.name.actorname = "Chris Hemsworth"

into:

object2.put("thor.info.name.actorname",avengers,"Chris Hemsworth")

Delete-allows you to refactor this:

if(thor && thor.weapon && thor.weapon.stormbreaker){
