When running something such as the following:

The JSON keys will automatically change from strings to identifier names. I am writing to a Firebase Realtime Database, and Firebase will recognize the JSON as being invalid (since JSON keys need to have double quotes). How can I keep JSON keys in double-quotes (most JavaScript compilers will remove them)?

Console log don't show double quotes, because there's difference between JSON and JavaScript objects.

If you need to convert JavaScript Objects to JSON, you can use

JSON.stringify(newData)

Try

console.log(JSON.stringify({
  "msg": "hello world",
  "msg2": "testing123"
}));
