A collection is an object that stores multiple elements as a single unit. ES6 introduced various new collection objects to provide better ways of storing and organizing data.
The array was the only collection object available in ES5. Now we have ArrayBuffers, SharedArrayBuffers, Typed Arrays, Sets, and Maps, which are built in collection objects.
Let's explore the different collection objects provided in JavaScript.
Elements of arrays can be of any type, such as strings, numbers, objects, and so on. Arrays can grow dynamically. The problem with arrays is that they are slow in terms of execution time and occupy more memory. This causes issues while developing applications that require too much computation and deal with plenty of numbers. Therefore array buffers were introduced to tackle this issue.
An array buffer is a collection of 8-bit blocks in memory. Every block is an array buffer element. The size of an array buffer needs to be decided while creating it; therefore...
