JavaScript Map Object
The JavaScript Map object is used to map keys to values. It stores each element as key-value pair. It operates the elements such as search, update and delete on the basis of specified key.
Syntax
Parameter
iterable - It represents an array and other iterable object whose elements are in the form of key-value pair.
Points to remember
- A map object cannot contain the duplicate keys.
- A map object can contain the duplicate values.
- The key and value can be of any type (allows both object and primitive values).
- A map object iterates its elements in insertion order.
