在这个答案的更新3中已经明确表示,这个符号:

var hash = {};
hash[X]

实际上并不散列对象X;它实际上只是将X转换为一个字符串(如果它是一个对象,则通过. tostring(),或者其他一些用于各种基本类型的内置转换),然后在“哈希”中查找该字符串,而不散列它。对象相等性也不检查-如果两个不同的对象具有相同的字符串转换,它们将相互覆盖。

鉴于此,JavaScript中是否有有效的hashmap实现?

(例如,javascript hashmap的第二个谷歌结果对任何操作产生的实现都是O(n)。其他各种结果忽略了具有等效字符串表示的不同对象会相互覆盖这一事实。


当前回答

这看起来很健壮 解决方案:https://github.com/flesler/hashmap

它甚至可以很好地用于看起来相同的函数和对象。它使用的唯一hack是向对象添加一个模糊成员来标识它。如果您的程序没有覆盖这个模糊的变量(它类似于hashid),那么您就很好了。

其他回答

JavaScript没有内置的map/hashmap。它应该被称为关联数组。

hash["X"]等于hash。X,但它允许“X”作为字符串变量。 换句话说,hash[x]在函数上等于eval("hash."+x. tostring())。

它更类似于object。属性而不是键值映射。 如果你在JavaScript中寻找一个更好的键/值映射,请使用Map对象。

我已经实现了一个JavaScript HashMap,其代码可以从http://github.com/lambder/HashMapJS/tree/master获得

代码如下:

/*

 =====================================================================
 */
var HashMap = function() {
  this.initialize();
}

HashMap.prototype = {
  hashkey_prefix: "<#HashMapHashkeyPerfix>",
  hashcode_field: "<#HashMapHashkeyPerfix>",

  initialize: function() {
    this.backing_hash = {};
    this.code = 0;
  },
  /*
   Maps value to key returning previous association
   */
  put: function(key, value) {
    var prev;
    if (key && value) {
      var hashCode = key[this.hashcode_field];
      if (hashCode) {
        prev = this.backing_hash[hashCode];
      } else {
        this.code += 1;
        hashCode = this.hashkey_prefix + this.code;
        key[this.hashcode_field] = hashCode;
      }
      this.backing_hash[hashCode] = value;
    }
    return prev;
  },
  /*
   Returns value associated with given key
   */
  get: function(key) {
    var value;
    if (key) {
      var hashCode = key[this.hashcode_field];
      if (hashCode) {
        value = this.backing_hash[hashCode];
      }
    }
    return value;
  },
  /*
   Deletes association by given key.
   Returns true if the association existed, false otherwise
   */
  del: function(key) {
    var success = false;
    if (key) {
      var hashCode = key[this.hashcode_field];
      if (hashCode) {
        var prev = this.backing_hash[hashCode];
        this.backing_hash[hashCode] = undefined;
        if(prev !== undefined)
          success = true;
      }
    }
    return success;
  }
}

//// Usage

// Creation

var my_map = new HashMap();

// Insertion

var a_key = {};
var a_value = {struct: "structA"};
var b_key = {};
var b_value = {struct: "structB"};
var c_key = {};
var c_value = {struct: "structC"};

my_map.put(a_key, a_value);
my_map.put(b_key, b_value);
var prev_b = my_map.put(b_key, c_value);

// Retrieval

if(my_map.get(a_key) !== a_value){
  throw("fail1")
}
if(my_map.get(b_key) !== c_value){
  throw("fail2")
}
if(prev_b !== b_value){
  throw("fail3")
}

// Deletion

var a_existed = my_map.del(a_key);
var c_existed = my_map.del(c_key);
var a2_existed = my_map.del(a_key);

if(a_existed !== true){
  throw("fail4")
}
if(c_existed !== false){
  throw("fail5")
}
if(a2_existed !== false){
  throw("fail6")
}

我的“地图”实现,源自Christoph的例子:

使用示例:

var map = new Map();  // Creates an "in-memory" map
var map = new Map("storageId");  // Creates a map that is loaded/persisted using html5 storage

function Map(storageId) {
    this.current = undefined;

    this.storageId = storageId;
    if (this.storageId) {
        this.keys = new Array();
        this.disableLinking();
    }
}

Map.noop = function() {
    return this;
};

Map.illegal = function() {
    throw new Error("illegal operation for maps without linking");
};

// Map initialisation from an existing object
// doesn't add inherited properties if not explicitly instructed to:
// omitting foreignKeys means foreignKeys === undefined, i.e. == false
// --> inherited properties won't be added
Map.from = function(obj, foreignKeys) {
    var map = new Map;
    for(var prop in obj) {
        if(foreignKeys || obj.hasOwnProperty(prop))
            map.put(prop, obj[prop]);
    }
    return map;
};

Map.prototype.disableLinking = function() {
    this.link = Map.noop;
    this.unlink = Map.noop;
    this.disableLinking = Map.noop;

    this.next = Map.illegal;
    this.key = Map.illegal;
    this.value = Map.illegal;
//    this.removeAll = Map.illegal;


    return this;
};

// Overwrite in Map instance if necessary
Map.prototype.hash = function(value) {
    return (typeof value) + ' ' + (value instanceof Object ?
        (value.__hash || (value.__hash = ++arguments.callee.current)) :
        value.toString());
};

Map.prototype.hash.current = 0;

// --- Mapping functions

如果性能不是很关键(例如,键的数量相对较小),并且你不想用额外的字段(如_hash, _id等)污染你的(或可能不是你的)对象,那么你可以利用Array.prototype.indexOf采用严格相等的事实。下面是一个简单的实现:

var Dict = (function(){
    // Internet Explorer 8 and earlier does not have any Array.prototype.indexOf
    function indexOfPolyfill(val) {
      for (var i = 0, l = this.length; i < l; ++i) {
        if (this[i] === val) {
          return i;
        }
      }
      return -1;
    }

    function Dict(){
      this.keys = [];
      this.values = [];
      if (!this.keys.indexOf) {
        this.keys.indexOf = indexOfPolyfill;
      }
    };

    Dict.prototype.has = function(key){
      return this.keys.indexOf(key) != -1;
    };

    Dict.prototype.get = function(key, defaultValue){
      var index = this.keys.indexOf(key);
      return index == -1 ? defaultValue : this.values[index];
    };

    Dict.prototype.set = function(key, value){
      var index = this.keys.indexOf(key);
      if (index == -1) {
        this.keys.push(key);
        this.values.push(value);
      } else {
        var prevValue = this.values[index];
        this.values[index] = value;
        return prevValue;
      }
    };

    Dict.prototype.delete = function(key){
      var index = this.keys.indexOf(key);
      if (index != -1) {
        this.keys.splice(index, 1);
        return this.values.splice(index, 1)[0];
      }
    };

    Dict.prototype.clear = function(){
      this.keys.splice(0, this.keys.length);
      this.values.splice(0, this.values.length);
    };

    return Dict;
})();

用法示例:

var a = {}, b = {},
    c = { toString: function(){ return '1'; } },
    d = 1, s = '1', u = undefined, n = null,
    dict = new Dict();

// Keys and values can be anything
dict.set(a, 'a');
dict.set(b, 'b');
dict.set(c, 'c');
dict.set(d, 'd');
dict.set(s, 's');
dict.set(u, 'u');
dict.set(n, 'n');

dict.get(a); // 'a'
dict.get(b); // 'b'
dict.get(s); // 's'
dict.get(u); // 'u'
dict.get(n); // 'n'
// etc.

与ECMAScript 6 WeakMap相比,它有两个问题:O(n)搜索时间和非弱(即如果不使用delete或clear释放键会导致内存泄漏)。

根据ECMAScript 2015 (ES6),标准JavaScript有一个Map实现。更多信息可以在这里找到。

基本用法:

var myMap = new Map();
var keyString = "a string",
    keyObj = {},
    keyFunc = function () {};

// 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");

myMap.size; // 3

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