Re: syntax question

I've put up a test case on jsPerf: http://jsperf.com/comparison-performance

Depending on the engine you might see varying results. You will also notice that your examples aren't the most efficient ones.

The fastest on Safari 6 is the member lookup.

The str in obj is slightly slower.

Regular expressions were the slowest in my case. You can get rid of the positive lookahead if you want exact match anyway to speed it up slightly.

I don't have the setup right here to test more browsers at the moment.

Cheers

Which do you think is more efficient when checking if a string is either "<i>" or "<b>"?

  var obj = {'<b>': null, '<i>': null};

  var str = '<i>';

  var tag = str.search(/<(?:b|i)>/);

or

  var tag = (str in obj);

Thanks!
