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"

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.size = 0;
    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

Map.prototype.get = function(key) {
    var item = this[this.hash(key)];
    if (item === undefined) {
        if (this.storageId) {
            try {
                var itemStr = localStorage.getItem(this.storageId + key);
                if (itemStr && itemStr !== 'undefined') {
                    item = JSON.parse(itemStr);
                    this[this.hash(key)] = item;
                    this.keys.push(key);
                    ++this.size;
                }
            } catch (e) {
                console.log(e);
            }
        }
    }
    return item === undefined ? undefined : item.value;
};

Map.prototype.put = function(key, value) {
    var hash = this.hash(key);

    if(this[hash] === undefined) {
        var item = { key : key, value : value };
        this[hash] = item;

        this.link(item);
        ++this.size;
    }
    else this[hash].value = value;
    if (this.storageId) {
        this.keys.push(key);
        try {
            localStorage.setItem(this.storageId + key, JSON.stringify(this[hash]));
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e);
        }
    }
    return this;
};

Map.prototype.remove = function(key) {
    var hash = this.hash(key);
    var item = this[hash];
    if(item !== undefined) {
        --this.size;
        this.unlink(item);

        delete this[hash];
    }
    if (this.storageId) {
        try {
            localStorage.setItem(this.storageId + key, undefined);
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e);
        }
    }
    return this;
};

// Only works if linked
Map.prototype.removeAll = function() {
    if (this.storageId) {
        for (var i=0; i<this.keys.length; i++) {
            this.remove(this.keys[i]);
        }
        this.keys.length = 0;
    } else {
        while(this.size)
            this.remove(this.key());
    }
    return this;
};

// --- Linked list helper functions

Map.prototype.link = function(item) {
    if (this.storageId) {
        return;
    }
    if(this.size == 0) {
        item.prev = item;
        item.next = item;
        this.current = item;
    }
    else {
        item.prev = this.current.prev;
        item.prev.next = item;
        item.next = this.current;
        this.current.prev = item;
    }
};

Map.prototype.unlink = function(item) {
    if (this.storageId) {
        return;
    }
    if(this.size == 0)
        this.current = undefined;
    else {
        item.prev.next = item.next;
        item.next.prev = item.prev;
        if(item === this.current)
            this.current = item.next;
    }
};

// --- Iterator functions - only work if map is linked

Map.prototype.next = function() {
    this.current = this.current.next;
};

Map.prototype.key = function() {
    if (this.storageId) {
        return undefined;
    } else {
        return this.current.key;
    }
};

Map.prototype.value = function() {
    if (this.storageId) {
        return undefined;
    }
    return this.current.value;
};

在ECMAScript 6中，你可以使用WeakMap。

例子:

var wm1 = new WeakMap(),
    wm2 = new WeakMap(),
    wm3 = new WeakMap();
var o1 = {},
    o2 = function(){},
    o3 = window;

wm1.set(o1, 37);
wm1.set(o2, "azerty");
wm2.set(o1, o2); // A value can be anything, including an object or a function
wm2.set(o3, undefined);
wm2.set(wm1, wm2); // Keys and values can be any objects. Even WeakMaps!

wm1.get(o2); // "azerty"
wm2.get(o2); // Undefined, because there is no value for o2 on wm2
wm2.get(o3); // Undefined, because that is the set value

wm1.has(o2); // True
wm2.has(o2); // False
wm2.has(o3); // True (even if the value itself is 'undefined')

wm3.set(o1, 37);
wm3.get(o1); // 37
wm3.clear();
wm3.get(o1); // Undefined, because wm3 was cleared and there is no value for o1 anymore

wm1.has(o1);   // True
wm1.delete(o1);
wm1.has(o1);   // False

But:

因为引用是弱的，WeakMap键是不可枚举的(也就是说，没有方法给你一个键的列表)。

不幸的是，之前的答案都不适合我的情况:不同的键对象可能具有相同的散列代码。因此，我写了一个简单的类似java的HashMap版本:

function HashMap() {
    this.buckets = {};
}

HashMap.prototype.put = function(key, value) {
    var hashCode = key.hashCode();
    var bucket = this.buckets[hashCode];
    if (!bucket) {
        bucket = new Array();
        this.buckets[hashCode] = bucket;
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < bucket.length; ++i) {
        if (bucket[i].key.equals(key)) {
            bucket[i].value = value;
            return;
        }
    }
    bucket.push({ key: key, value: value });
}

HashMap.prototype.get = function(key) {
    var hashCode = key.hashCode();
    var bucket = this.buckets[hashCode];
    if (!bucket) {
        return null;
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < bucket.length; ++i) {
        if (bucket[i].key.equals(key)) {
            return bucket[i].value;
        }
    }
}

HashMap.prototype.keys = function() {
    var keys = new Array();
    for (var hashKey in this.buckets) {
        var bucket = this.buckets[hashKey];
        for (var i = 0; i < bucket.length; ++i) {
            keys.push(bucket[i].key);
        }
    }
    return keys;
}

HashMap.prototype.values = function() {
    var values = new Array();
    for (var hashKey in this.buckets) {
        var bucket = this.buckets[hashKey];
        for (var i = 0; i < bucket.length; ++i) {
            values.push(bucket[i].value);
        }
    }
    return values;
}

注意:键对象必须“实现”hashCode()和equals()方法。

这是我的另一个地图实现。使用randomizer， 'generics'和'iterator' =)

var HashMap = function (TKey, TValue) {
    var db = [];
    var keyType, valueType;

    (function () {
        keyType = TKey;
        valueType = TValue;
    })();

    var getIndexOfKey = function (key) {
        if (typeof key !== keyType)
            throw new Error('Type of key should be ' + keyType);
        for (var i = 0; i < db.length; i++) {
            if (db[i][0] == key)
                return i;
        }
        return -1;
    }

    this.add = function (key, value) {
        if (typeof key !== keyType) {
            throw new Error('Type of key should be ' + keyType);
        } else if (typeof value !== valueType) {
            throw new Error('Type of value should be ' + valueType);
        }
        var index = getIndexOfKey(key);
        if (index === -1)
            db.push([key, value]);
        else
            db[index][1] = value;
        return this;
    }

    this.get = function (key) {
        if (typeof key !== keyType || db.length === 0)
            return null;
        for (var i = 0; i < db.length; i++) {
            if (db[i][0] == key)
                return db[i][1];
        }
        return null;
    }

    this.size = function () {
        return db.length;
    }

    this.keys = function () {
        if (db.length === 0)
            return [];
        var result = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < db.length; i++) {
            result.push(db[i][0]);
        }
        return result;
    }

    this.values = function () {
        if (db.length === 0)
            return [];
        var result = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < db.length; i++) {
            result.push(db[i][1]);
        }
        return result;
    }

    this.randomize = function () {
        if (db.length === 0)
            return this;
        var currentIndex = db.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;
        while (0 !== currentIndex) {
            randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
            currentIndex--;
            temporaryValue = db[currentIndex];
            db[currentIndex] = db[randomIndex];
            db[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
        }
        return this;
    }

    this.iterate = function (callback) {
        if (db.length === 0)
            return false;
        for (var i = 0; i < db.length; i++) {
            callback(db[i][0], db[i][1]);
        }
        return true;
    }
}

例子:

var a = new HashMap("string", "number");
a.add('test', 1132)
 .add('test14', 666)
 .add('1421test14', 12312666)
 .iterate(function (key, value) {console.log('a['+key+']='+value)});
/*
a[test]=1132
a[test14]=666
a[1421test14]=12312666 
*/
a.randomize();
/*
a[1421test14]=12312666
a[test]=1132
a[test14]=666
*/

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。
