$.each vs for vs for in loop (v4)

Revision 4 of this benchmark created on

Description

Wanted to run some tests on how fast jQuery's .each() function was versus using a standard JS for loop. I tested a for and a for in loop against .each().

Preparation HTML

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script>
  var arrayOfStrings = {};
  var arrayLength = 50;
  for (var i = 0; i <= arrayLength ; i++) {
    arrayOfStrings["string" + i] = "String at " + i + " in the array.";
  }
  
</script>
