程式語言都具有資料結構,但在不同的程式語言之間會有些差異。這裡將列出可以在 JavaScript 中使用的資料結構,以及它們的特性;它們可以用來構成其他的資料結構。如果可以的話,會標示與其他語言不同的地方。
JavaScript 是弱型別,也能說是動態的程式語言。這代表你不必特別宣告變數的型別。程式在運作時,型別會自動轉換。這也代表你可以以不同的型別使用同一個變數。
var foo = 42; // foo 目前是數字 var foo = "bar"; // foo 目前是字串 var foo = true; // foo 目前是布林值
最新的 ECMAScript 標準定義了七種資料型別:
有六種資料型別是原始型別:
另外還有 Object
除了物件以外的所有值,都是原始定義的值(值意味著不能被改變)。例如與 C 不同的地方,就是字串是不變的。我們引用這些類型的值為 primitive values(原始值)。
布林(Boolean)代表了有兩個值的邏輯實體:true 與 false。
true
false
Null 型別只有一個值:null。請參見 null 與 Null。
null
一個沒有被定義的變數有 undefined 值。請參見 undefined 與 Undefined。
undefined
根據 ECMAScript 標準,數字型別只有一種:雙精度 64 位元二進制格式 IEEE 754 值(在 -(2^53 -1) and 2^53 -1 之間的數字)。而整數並沒有指定的型別。數字除了能代表浮點數以外,還有三個符號值:+Infinity、-Infinity、NaN(not-a-number,非數字)。
+Infinity
-Infinity
NaN
要檢查在 +/-Infinity 內可用的最大值或最小值,可以用 Number.MAX_VALUE 或 Number.MIN_VALUE 常數。從 ECMAScript 6 開始,也可以透過 Number.isSafeInteger()、Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER、Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER 檢查某數字是否為雙精度浮點值之間。Beyond this range, integers in JavaScript are not safe anymore and will be a double-precision floating point approximation of the value.
+/-Infinity
Number.MAX_VALUE
Number.MIN_VALUE
Number.isSafeInteger()
Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER
Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER
The number type has only one integer that has two representations: 0 is represented as -0 and +0. ("0" is an alias for +0). In the praxis, this has almost no impact. For example +0 === -0 is true. However, you are able to notice this when you divide by zero:
+0 === -0
> 42 / +0 Infinity > 42 / -0 -Infinity
Although a number often represents only its value, JavaScript provides some binary operators. These can be used to represent several Boolean values within a single number using bit masking. However, this is usually considered a bad practice, since JavaScript offers other means to represent a set of Booleans (like an array of Booleans or an object with Boolean values assigned to named properties). Bit masking also tends to make code more difficult to read, understand, and maintain. It may be necessary to use such techniques in very constrained environments, like when trying to cope with the storage limitation of local storage or in extreme cases when each bit over the network counts. This technique should only be considered when it is the last measure that can be taken to optimize size.
JavaScript 的 字串型別用來代表文字資料。它是一組 16 位的未宣告「元素」值。每個字串的元素,在字串內皆佔有一位。第一個元素位於索引的第 0 位,下一個元素位於第 1 位,並依此類推。字串的長度,是指該字串有多少元素。
字串
與 C 這類的語言不同,JavaScript 字串是不變的,意思是說當字串被創造出來以後,你不可能修改它。不過,可以基於操作原來的字串,來產生新的字串。例如:
String.substr()
+
String.concat()
It can be tempting to use strings to represent complex data. Doing this comes with short-term benefits:
XMLHttpRequest
responseText
With conventions, it is possible to represent any data structure in a string. This does not make it a good idea. For instance, with a separator, one could emulate a list (while a JavaScript array would be more suitable). Unfortunately, when the separator is used in one of the "list" elements, then, the list is broken. An escape character can be chosen, etc. All of this requires conventions and creates an unnecessary maintenance burden.
Use strings for textual data. When representing complex data, parse strings and use the appropriate abstraction.
Symbols are new to JavaScript in ECMAScript Edition 6. A Symbol is a unique and immutable primitive value and may be used as the key of an Object property (see below). In some programming languages, Symbols are called atoms. You can also compare them to named enumerations (enum) in C. For more details see Symbol and the Symbol object wrapper in JavaScript.
Symbol
以資訊科學而言,物件是個能透過identifier參照的有數值記憶體。
In JavaScript, objects can be seen as a collection of properties. With the object literal syntax, a limited set of properties are initialized; then properties can be added and removed. Property values can be values of any type, including other objects, which enables building complex data structures. Properties are identified using key values. A key value is either a String or a Symbol value.
There are two types of object properties which have certain attributes: The data property and the accessor property.
Associates a key with a value and has the following attributes:
Associates a key with one or two accessor functions (get and set) to retrieve or store a value and has the following attributes:
get
set
備註:Attribute is usually used by JavaScript engine, so you can't directly access it(see more about Object.defineProperty()).That's why the attribute is put in double square brackets instead of single.
A JavaScript object is a mapping between keys and values. Keys are strings (or Symbols) and values can be anything. This makes objects a natural fit for hashmaps.
Functions are regular objects with the additional capability of being callable.
When representing dates, the best choice is to use the built-in Date utility in JavaScript.
Date
Arrays are regular objects for which there is a particular relationship between integer-keyed properties and the length property.
length
Additionally, arrays inherit from Array.prototype, which provides a handful of convenient methods to manipulate arrays. For example, indexOf() searches a value in the array and push() appends an element to the array. This makes Arrays a perfect candidate to represent ordered lists.
Array.prototype
indexOf()
push()
Typed Arrays present an array-like view of an underlying binary data buffer, and offer many methods that have similar semantics to the array counterparts. "Typed array" is an umbrella term for a range of data structures, including Int8Array, Float32Array, etc. Check the typed array page for more information. Typed arrays are often used in conjunction with ArrayBuffer and DataView.
Int8Array
Float32Array
ArrayBuffer
DataView
These data structures take object references as keys and are introduced in ECMAScript Edition 6. Set and WeakSet represent a set of objects, while Map and WeakMap associate a value to an object. The difference between Maps and WeakMaps is that in the former, object keys can be enumerated over. This allows garbage collection optimizations in the latter case.
Set
WeakSet
Map
WeakMap
One could implement Maps and Sets in pure ECMAScript 5. However, since objects cannot be compared (in the sense of "less than" for instance), look-up performance would necessarily be linear. Native implementations of them (including WeakMaps) can have look-up performance that is approximately logarithmic to constant time.
Usually, to bind data to a DOM node, one could set properties directly on the object or use data-* attributes. This has the downside that the data is available to any script running in the same context. Maps and WeakMaps make it easy to privately bind data to an object.
data-*
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format, derived from JavaScript but used by many programming languages. JSON builds universal data structures. See JSON and JSON for more details.
JSON
JavaScript has a standard library of built-in objects. Please have a look at the reference to find out about more objects.
