- Unlike an array, does not allow to reorder elements.
- Keeps the insertion order.
- `WeakMap` -- a variant of `Map` that allows only objects as keys and removes them once they become unaccessible by other means.
- `WeakMap` -- a variant of `Map` that allows only objects as keys and removes them once they become inaccessible by other means.
- It does not support operations on the structure as a whole: no `size`, no `clear()`, no iterations.
- `WeakSet` -- is a variant of `Set` that only stores objects and removes them once they become unaccessible by other means.
- `WeakSet` -- is a variant of `Set` that only stores objects and removes them once they become inaccessible by other means.
- Also does not support `size/clear()` and iterations.
`WeakMap` and `WeakSet` are used as "secondary" data structures in additional to the "main" object storage. Once the object is removed from the main storage, so it only stays in `WeakMap/WeakSet`, they clean up aumatically.
