The Map object holds key-value pairs and remembers the original insertion order of the keys. Any value (both objects and primitive values) may be used as either a key or a value.

const map1 = new Map();

map1.set("a", 1);
map1.set("b", 2);
map1.set("c", 3);

console.log(map1.get("a"));
// Expected output: 1

map1.set("a", 97);

console.log(map1.get("a"));
// Expected output: 97

console.log(map1.size);
// Expected output: 3

map1.delete("b");

console.log(map1.size);
// Expected output: 2

Map objects are collections of key-value pairs. A key in the Map may only occur once; it is unique in the Map's collection. A Map object is iterated by key-value pairs — a for...of loop returns a 2-member array of [key, value] for each iteration. Iteration happens in insertion order, which corresponds to the order in which each key-value pair was first inserted into the map by the set() method (that is, there wasn't a key with the same value already in the map when set() was called).

The specification requires maps to be implemented "that, on average, provide access times that are sublinear on the number of elements in the collection". Therefore, it could be represented internally as a hash table (with O(1) lookup), a search tree (with O(log(N)) lookup), or any other data structure, as long as the complexity is better than O(N).

Value equality is based on the SameValueZero algorithm. (It used to use SameValue, which treated 0 and -0 as different. Check browser compatibility.) This means NaN is considered the same as NaN (even though NaN !== NaN) and all other values are considered equal according to the semantics of the === operator.

Object is similar to Map—both let you set keys to values, retrieve those values, delete keys, and detect whether something is stored at a key. For this reason (and because there were no built-in alternatives), Object has been used as Map historically.

However, there are important differences that make Map preferable in some cases:

An Object has a prototype, so it contains default keys that could collide with your own keys if you're not careful.

Note: This can be bypassed by using Object.create(null), but this is seldom done.

Setting user-provided key-value pairs on an Object may allow an attacker to override the object's prototype, which can lead to object injection attacks . Like the accidental keys issue, this can also be mitigated by using a null-prototype object.

The keys in Map are ordered in a straightforward way: A Map object iterates entries, keys, and values in the order of entry insertion.

Although the keys of an ordinary Object are ordered now, this was not always the case, and the order is complex. As a result, it's best not to rely on property order.

The order was first defined for own properties only in ECMAScript 2015; ECMAScript 2020 defines order for inherited properties as well. But note that no single mechanism iterates all of an object's properties; the various mechanisms each include different subsets of properties. (for-in includes only enumerable string-keyed properties; Object.keys includes only own, enumerable, string-keyed properties; Object.getOwnPropertyNames includes own, string-keyed properties even if non-enumerable; Object.getOwnPropertySymbols does the same for just Symbol-keyed properties, etc.)

Size

Object does not implement an iteration protocol, and so objects are not directly iterable using the JavaScript for...of statement (by default).

Note:

• An object can implement the iteration protocol, or you can get an iterable for an object using Object.keys or Object.entries.
• The for...in statement allows you to iterate over the enumerable properties of an object.

Performs better in scenarios involving frequent additions and removals of key-value pairs.

Not optimized for frequent additions and removals of key-value pairs.

No native support for serialization or parsing.

(But you can build your own serialization and parsing support for Map by using JSON.stringify() with its replacer argument, and by using JSON.parse() with its reviver argument. See the Stack Overflow question How do you JSON.stringify an ES6 Map?).

Native support for serialization from Object to JSON, using JSON.stringify().

Native support for parsing from JSON to Object, using JSON.parse().

Setting Object properties works for Map objects as well, and can cause considerable confusion.

Therefore, this appears to work in a way:

const wrongMap = new Map();
wrongMap["bla"] = "blaa";
wrongMap["bla2"] = "blaaa2";

console.log(wrongMap); // Map { bla: 'blaa', bla2: 'blaaa2' }

But that way of setting a property does not interact with the Map data structure. It uses the feature of the generic object. The value of 'bla' is not stored in the Map for queries. Other operations on the data fail:

wrongMap.has("bla"); // false
wrongMap.delete("bla"); // false
console.log(wrongMap); // Map { bla: 'blaa', bla2: 'blaaa2' }

The correct usage for storing data in the Map is through the set(key, value) method.

const contacts = new Map();
contacts.set("Jessie", { phone: "213-555-1234", address: "123 N 1st Ave" });
contacts.has("Jessie"); // true
contacts.get("Hilary"); // undefined
contacts.set("Hilary", { phone: "617-555-4321", address: "321 S 2nd St" });
contacts.get("Jessie"); // {phone: "213-555-1234", address: "123 N 1st Ave"}
contacts.delete("Raymond"); // false
contacts.delete("Jessie"); // true
console.log(contacts.size); // 1

Browser Map-like objects (or "maplike objects") are Web API interfaces that behave in many ways like a Map.

Just like Map, entries can be iterated in the same order that they were added to the object. Map-like objects and Map also have properties and methods that share the same name and behavior. However unlike Map they only allow specific predefined types for the keys and values of each entry.

The allowed types are set in the specification IDL definition. For example, RTCStatsReport is a Map-like object that must use strings for keys and objects for values. This is defined in the specification IDL below:

interface RTCStatsReport {
  readonly maplike<DOMString, object>;
};

Map-like objects are either read-only or read-writable (see the readonly keyword in the IDL above).

• Read-only Map-like objects have the property size, and the methods: entries(), forEach(), get(), has(), keys(), values(), and Symbol.iterator().
• Writeable Map-like objects additionally have the methods: clear(), delete(), and set().

The methods and properties have the same behavior as the equivalent entities in Map, except for the restriction on the types of the keys and values.

The following are examples of read-only Map-like browser objects:

• AudioParamMap
• RTCStatsReport
• EventCounts
• KeyboardLayoutMap
• MIDIInputMap
• MIDIOutputMap

Map()

Creates a new Map object.

Map[Symbol.species]

The constructor function that is used to create derived objects.

Map.groupBy()

Groups the elements of a given iterable using the values returned by a provided callback function. The final returned Map uses the unique values from the test function as keys, which can be used to get the array of elements in each group.

These properties are defined on Map.prototype and shared by all Map instances.

Map.prototype.constructor

The constructor function that created the instance object. For Map instances, the initial value is the Map constructor.

Map.prototype.size

Returns the number of key/value pairs in the Map object.

Map.prototype[Symbol.toStringTag]

The initial value of the [Symbol.toStringTag] property is the string "Map". This property is used in Object.prototype.toString().

Map.prototype.clear()

Removes all key-value pairs from the Map object.

Map.prototype.delete()

Returns true if an element in the Map object existed and has been removed, or false if the element does not exist. map.has(key) will return false afterwards.

Map.prototype.entries()

Returns a new Iterator object that contains a two-member array of [key, value] for each element in the Map object in insertion order.

Map.prototype.forEach()

Calls callbackFn once for each key-value pair present in the Map object, in insertion order. If a thisArg parameter is provided to forEach, it will be used as the this value for each callback.

Map.prototype.get()

Returns the value associated to the passed key, or undefined if there is none.

Map.prototype.has()

Returns a boolean indicating whether a value has been associated with the passed key in the Map object or not.

Map.prototype.keys()

Returns a new Iterator object that contains the keys for each element in the Map object in insertion order.

Map.prototype.set()

Sets the value for the passed key in the Map object. Returns the Map object.

Map.prototype.values()

Returns a new Iterator object that contains the values for each element in the Map object in insertion order.

Map.prototype[Symbol.iterator]()

Returns a new Iterator object that contains a two-member array of [key, value] for each element in the Map object in insertion order.

const myMap = new Map();

const keyString = "a string";
const keyObj = {};
const keyFunc = () => {};

// setting the values
myMap.set(keyString, "value associated with 'a string'");
myMap.set(keyObj, "value associated with keyObj");
myMap.set(keyFunc, "value associated with keyFunc");

console.log(myMap.size); // 3

// getting the values
console.log(myMap.get(keyString)); // "value associated with 'a string'"
console.log(myMap.get(keyObj)); // "value associated with keyObj"
console.log(myMap.get(keyFunc)); // "value associated with keyFunc"

console.log(myMap.get("a string")); // "value associated with 'a string'", because keyString === 'a string'
console.log(myMap.get({})); // undefined, because keyObj !== {}
console.log(myMap.get(() => {})); // undefined, because keyFunc !== () => {}

NaN can also be used as a key. Even though every NaN is not equal to itself (NaN !== NaN is true), the following example works because NaNs are indistinguishable from each other:

const myMap = new Map();
myMap.set(NaN, "not a number");

myMap.get(NaN);
// "not a number"

const otherNaN = Number("foo");
myMap.get(otherNaN);
// "not a number"

Maps can be iterated using a for...of loop:

const myMap = new Map();
myMap.set(0, "zero");
myMap.set(1, "one");

for (const [key, value] of myMap) {
  console.log(`${key} = ${value}`);
}
// 0 = zero
// 1 = one

for (const key of myMap.keys()) {
  console.log(key);
}
// 0
// 1

for (const value of myMap.values()) {
  console.log(value);
}
// zero
// one

for (const [key, value] of myMap.entries()) {
  console.log(`${key} = ${value}`);
}
// 0 = zero
// 1 = one

Maps can be iterated using the forEach() method:

myMap.forEach((value, key) => {
  console.log(`${key} = ${value}`);
});
// 0 = zero
// 1 = one

const kvArray = [
  ["key1", "value1"],
  ["key2", "value2"],
];

// Use the regular Map constructor to transform a 2D key-value Array into a map
const myMap = new Map(kvArray);

console.log(myMap.get("key1")); // "value1"

// Use Array.from() to transform a map into a 2D key-value Array
console.log(Array.from(myMap)); // Will show you exactly the same Array as kvArray

// A succinct way to do the same, using the spread syntax
console.log([...myMap]);

// Or use the keys() or values() iterators, and convert them to an array
console.log(Array.from(myMap.keys())); // ["key1", "key2"]

Just like Arrays, Maps can be cloned:

const original = new Map([[1, "one"]]);

const clone = new Map(original);

console.log(clone.get(1)); // one
console.log(original === clone); // false (useful for shallow comparison)

Note: Keep in mind that the data itself is not cloned. In other words, it is only a shallow copy of the Map.

Maps can be merged, maintaining key uniqueness:

const first = new Map([
  [1, "one"],
  [2, "two"],
  [3, "three"],
]);

const second = new Map([
  [1, "uno"],
  [2, "dos"],
]);

// Merge two maps. The last repeated key wins.
// Spread syntax essentially converts a Map to an Array
const merged = new Map([...first, ...second]);

console.log(merged.get(1)); // uno
console.log(merged.get(2)); // dos
console.log(merged.get(3)); // three

Maps can be merged with Arrays, too:

const first = new Map([
  [1, "one"],
  [2, "two"],
  [3, "three"],
]);

const second = new Map([
  [1, "uno"],
  [2, "dos"],
]);

// Merge maps with an array. The last repeated key wins.
const merged = new Map([...first, ...second, [1, "un"]]);

console.log(merged.get(1)); // un
console.log(merged.get(2)); // dos
console.log(merged.get(3)); // three
