Hi there,
I have a question about performance, wondering if anyone has any insight. I have a set of data -
basically name (or key)/value pairs. I could use a an array or a custom object. Currently I am
using a custom object, kind of like a Hash I guess:
var stateData = {
'colorado_image' : 'image.html',
'colorado_desc' : 'description.xml',
'scene2_image' : 'image2.html',
'scene2_desc' : 'description2.xml',
'scene3_image' : 'image3.html',
'scene3_desc' : 'description3.xml' };
Is there a performance benefit/hit in using the object or is there basically no difference? If the
data begins to grow to say 50-100 objects, what about then?
TIA
Tom
