Benchmark: uderscore.each vs jQuery each

HTML Preparation code:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://underscorejs.ru/underscore.js"></script>

Script Preparation code:


// Populate the base array
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
  arr[i] = i;
}

function fn(a) {
  return a * 2 * 5;
}

Tests:

underscore.each
_.forEach(arr,fn)
jQuery each
$.each(fn);

Let's break down the benchmark and its results.

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark is designed to compare the performance of two JavaScript libraries: Underscore.js (specifically, its `forEach` method) and jQuery's `each` method.

**Options Compared**

Two options are being compared:

1. **Underscore.js `forEach`**: This method iterates over an array using a callback function.
2. **jQuery `each`**: This method also iterates over an array using a callback function, but it's part of the jQuery library.

**Pros and Cons of Each Approach**

Both libraries have their strengths and weaknesses:

* Underscore.js `forEach`:
	+ Pros: Lightweight, flexible, and fast.
	+ Cons: Requires knowledge of Underscore.js syntax and APIs.
* jQuery `each`:
	+ Pros: Widely adopted, well-documented, and easy to use for jQuery developers.
	+ Cons: Larger footprint (due to jQuery's overall size), and might be overkill for small projects.

**Library Descriptions**

1. **Underscore.js**: A lightweight JavaScript utility library that provides functional programming helpers, including `forEach`, `map`, `filter`, and more.
2. **jQuery**: A popular JavaScript library for DOM manipulation, event handling, and Ajax interactions. jQuery's `each` method is used to iterate over arrays.

**Special JS Features/Syntax**

The benchmark doesn't use any special JavaScript features or syntax that would require specific knowledge or expertise.

**Other Alternatives**

If you need to compare the performance of other iteration methods in JavaScript, consider:

* `Array.prototype.forEach`: The built-in JavaScript method for iterating over arrays using a callback function.
* Vanilla JavaScript loops (e.g., `for`, `while`, or `do-while`) for manual iteration.

**Benchmark Preparation Code**

The provided script preparation code creates an array of 1000 elements, each containing an index value. It also defines a simple function `fn(a)` that takes an input and returns the result of multiplying it by 2 and 5.

The HTML preparation code includes links to load jQuery and Underscore.js libraries.

**Individual Test Cases**

Each test case compares the performance of either Underscore.js `forEach` or jQuery's `each` method on the same array, with the same input function (`fn(a)`). The tests are designed to be independent, allowing for accurate comparison of their execution times.
