Benchmark: Object value comparison vs array find

Script Preparation code:

var items = Array.from(Array(1000), (_, x) => ({
    key: x,
    value1: Math.random() * 1000,
    value2: Math.random() * 1000
}));

var objContainer = {};
var arrContainer = [];

for (let i = 100; i >= 0; i--) {
    const index = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000);
    const item = items[index];
    objContainer[item.key] = item;
    arrContainer.push(item)
}

var items = Array.from(Array(1000), (_, x) => ({    key: x,    value1: Math.random() * 1000,    value2: Math.random() * 1000}));​var objContainer = {};var arrContainer = [];​for (let i = 100; i >= 0; i--) {    const index = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000);    const item = items[index];    objContainer[item.key] = item;    arrContainer.push(item)}

Tests:

Get array of keys with value 1 between 0 and 499, and value 2 between 500 and 999 in Object
var result = []; for (var k in objContainer) { if (objContainer[k].value1 >= 0 && objContainer[k].value1 <= 499 && objContainer[k].value2 >= 500 && objContainer[k].value2 <= 999) { result.push(k); } }
var result = [];
for (var k in objContainer) {
if (objContainer[k].value1 >= 0 && objContainer[k].value1 <= 499 && objContainer[k].value2 >= 500 && objContainer[k].value2 <= 999) {
result.push(k);
}
}
Get array of keys with value 1 between 0 and 499, and value 2 between 500 and 999 in Array
var result = []; for (var item of arrContainer) { if (item.value1 >= 0 && item.value1 <= 499 && item.value2 >= 500 && item.value2 <= 999) { result.push(item.key); } }
var result = [];
for (var item of arrContainer) {

Let's dive into the world of JavaScript microbenchmarks!

The provided JSON represents a benchmark test case created on MeasureThat.net. The goal is to compare the performance of two approaches: object value comparison vs array find.

Options being compared:

Object Value Comparison: This approach uses a traditional for...in loop to iterate over the keys of an object and checks if the values satisfy the specified condition.
Array Find: This approach uses the built-in find() method on an array to find elements that satisfy the specified condition.

Pros and Cons:

Object Value Comparison:
- Pros: Easy to understand, straightforward implementation.
- Cons: Can be slow for large objects due to the overhead of iterating over all keys.
Array Find:
- Pros: Fast and efficient for large arrays, as it uses a optimized algorithm under the hood.
- Cons: May have additional overhead due to function calls, and may not be suitable for small arrays.

Other considerations:

The benchmark creates a large dataset of 1000 objects with random values, which can impact performance.
The condition specified in the Benchmark Definition is quite specific (value 1 between 0 and 499, value 2 between 500 and 999), which may not be representative of real-world scenarios.

Library/Language features:

The benchmark uses no external libraries or language features that are not part of the standard JavaScript specification. It relies on built-in methods like Array.from(), for...in, and find().

Special JS feature/syntax:

There are no special JS features or syntax used in this benchmark. The code is written in plain JavaScript, using standard constructs and data structures.

Now, let's look at the latest benchmark results:

The two test cases show a significant performance difference between object value comparison and array find. The Object test case executes approximately 242k times per second on Mobile Safari 15, while the Array test case executes around 30k times per second. This suggests that array find is significantly faster for this particular use case.

Other alternatives to these approaches include:

Using a library like Lodash or Ramda to implement the same logic in a more concise and efficient way.
Using a different data structure, such as a Map or a Set, to improve performance.
Optimizing the condition specified in the Benchmark Definition to reduce the number of iterations.

Keep in mind that microbenchmarking is an art, and results may vary depending on specific use cases and environments.

The provided JSON represents a benchmark test case created on MeasureThat.net. The goal is to compare the performance of two approaches: object value comparison vs array find.

**Options being compared:**

1. **Object Value Comparison**: This approach uses a traditional `for...in` loop to iterate over the keys of an object and checks if the values satisfy the specified condition.
2. **Array Find**: This approach uses the built-in `find()` method on an array to find elements that satisfy the specified condition.

**Pros and Cons:**

* **Object Value Comparison**:
	+ Pros: Easy to understand, straightforward implementation.
