JS creates objects. Why is the first one better than the second? What does high performance mean, fast computing? Or does it take up less space?

The first one is ：

function EventHandlers() {}
EventHandlers.prototype = Object.create(null);
this._events = new EventHandlers();

The second kind ：
this._events = {};

When it comes to performance, it generally refers to time , In a broad sense, it does contain space , But generally, when there is no special explanation, it only refers to time .

But there is something wrong with what the article says , This kind of writing is not similar to obj = {} Faster than , It's the heel obj = Object.create(null) Faster than （ The English annotation on your screenshot clearly says ）. Follow obj = {} Not at all 、 It must be obj = {} The slowest , The reason is simple , Because the members of the prototype chain have to be copied , There are also additional costs .

In fact, you can ignore it now , The article you read should have been released very early , This is the Node.js 6.x Pre era practice , At that time V8 Not yet Object.create Make optimization , So if you have this type, you need to use a custom empty type hacked Writing .

Actually, you're going to see Node.js 8.x Later source code , You'll find that this place has been changed back to Object.create(null) 了 .
