JavaScript技巧或jslibs项目。

你可以使用in操作符检查对象中是否存在键:

var x = 1;
var y = 3;
var list = {0:0, 1:0, 2:0};
x in list; //true
y in list; //false
1 in list; //true
y in {3:0, 4:0, 5:0}; //true

如果你觉得对象文字太丑，你可以将它与无参数函数提示结合起来:

function list()
 { var x = {};
   for(var i=0; i < arguments.length; ++i) x[arguments[i]] = 0;
   return x
 }

 5 in list(1,2,3,4,5) //true

方法(或函数)可以在不是它们设计使用的类型的对象上调用。这对于在自定义对象上调用本机(快速)方法非常有用。

var listNodes = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
listNodes.sort(function(a, b){ ... });

这段代码崩溃是因为listNodes不是数组

Array.prototype.sort.apply(listNodes, [function(a, b){ ... }]);

这段代码之所以有效，是因为listNodes定义了足够多的类数组属性(length，[]运算符)供sort()使用。

你可以使用for in迭代数组

Mark Cidade指出了for in循环的用处:

// creating an object (the short way, to use it like a hashmap)
var diner = {
"fruit":"apple"
"veggetable"="bean"
}

// looping over its properties
for (meal_name in diner ) {
    document.write(meal_name+"<br \n>");
}

结果:

fruit
veggetable

但还有更多。因为你可以使用关联数组这样的对象，你可以处理键和值， 就像foreach循环一样:

// looping over its properties and values
for (meal_name in diner ) {
    document.write(meal_name+" : "+diner[meal_name]+"<br \n>");
}

结果:

fruit : apple
veggetable : bean

因为数组也是对象，你可以用同样的方法迭代其他数组:

var my_array = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
for (index in my_array ) {
    document.write(index+" : "+my_array[index]+"<br \n>");
}

结果:

0 : a
1 : b
3 : c

可以很容易地从数组中删除一个已知元素

var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var pos = arr.indexOf('c');
pos > -1 && arr.splice( pos, 1 );

你可以很容易地打乱一个数组

arr.sort(function() Math.random() - 0.5);-不是真正的随机分布，见评论。

这似乎只适用于Firefox (SpiderMonkey)。函数内部:

Arguments[-2]给出了参数的个数(与Arguments .length相同) Arguments[-3]给出了被调用的函数(与Arguments .callee相同)

生成器和迭代器(仅适用于Firefox 2+和Safari)。

function fib() {
  var i = 0, j = 1;
  while (true) {
    yield i;
    var t = i;
    i = j;
    j += t;
  }
}

var g = fib();
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  document.write(g.next() + "<br>\n");
}

The function containing the yield keyword is a generator. When you call it, its formal parameters are bound to actual arguments, but its body isn't actually evaluated. Instead, a generator-iterator is returned. Each call to the generator-iterator's next() method performs another pass through the iterative algorithm. Each step's value is the value specified by the yield keyword. Think of yield as the generator-iterator version of return, indicating the boundary between each iteration of the algorithm. Each time you call next(), the generator code resumes from the statement following the yield. In normal usage, iterator objects are "invisible"; you won't need to operate on them explicitly, but will instead use JavaScript's for...in and for each...in statements to loop naturally over the keys and/or values of objects.

var objectWithIterator = getObjectSomehow();

for (var i in objectWithIterator)
{
  document.write(objectWithIterator[i] + "<br>\n");
}
