Let's break down the provided benchmark and explain what's being tested, compared options, pros and cons of each approach, and other considerations.
Benchmark Purpose
The purpose of this benchmark is to compare the performance of three different ways to access object properties in JavaScript:
for...in
loop with a break
statementObject.values()
to get an array of property valuestestObj[0]
)Options Compared
The benchmark is comparing three different approaches to achieve a similar goal:
for...in
loop with a break
statement: This method iterates over the object's properties, breaks out of the loop when the desired property is found, and then logs its value.Object.values()
: This method uses the Object.values()
method to get an array of all property values in the object. The first value in this array is logged as output.testObj[0]
): This method directly accesses the first property by its key, which is assumed to be the desired output.Pros and Cons of Each Approach
for...in
loop with a break
statement:Object.values()
:testObj[0]
):Library Used
None. This benchmark does not use any external libraries.
Special JS Feature/Syntax
The benchmark uses Object.values()
which is a feature introduced in ECMAScript 2019 (ES2020). It's a way to get an array of all property values in an object without using the bracket notation (obj[key]
).
Device/OS Considerations
The benchmark results show that Chrome 86 running on Windows Desktop has the highest ExecutionsPerSecond
value, indicating faster performance. The exact reasons for this difference are not specified.
Alternatives
Other alternatives to achieve similar goals could include:
for...of
loop with an iterator or a custom function to iterate over object properties.Object.keys()
and then accessing the first property using bracket notation (testObj[Object.keys(testObj)[0]]
).In summary, this benchmark compares three approaches to access object properties in JavaScript: for...in
loop with a break
statement, Object.values()
, and direct property access using its key. Each approach has pros and cons, and the results show that the fastest method depends on the specific use case.
