复杂度为O（n）的Vanilla JS解决方案（对于这个问题最快）。如果需要，修改hashFunction以区分对象（例如1和“1”）。第一种解决方案避免了隐藏循环（在Array提供的函数中常见）。

var dedupe = function(a) 
{
    var hash={},ret=[];
    var hashFunction = function(v) { return ""+v; };
    var collect = function(h)
    {
        if(hash.hasOwnProperty(hashFunction(h)) == false) // O(1)
        {
            hash[hashFunction(h)]=1;
            ret.push(h); // should be O(1) for Arrays
            return;
        }
    };

    for(var i=0; i<a.length; i++) // this is a loop: O(n)
        collect(a[i]);
    //OR: a.forEach(collect); // this is a loop: O(n)

    return ret;
}

var dedupe = function(a) 
{
    var hash={};
    var isdupe = function(h)
    {
        if(hash.hasOwnProperty(h) == false) // O(1)
        {
            hash[h]=1;
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    };

    return a.filter(isdupe); // this is a loop: O(n)
}

使用jQuery快速而肮脏：

var names = ["Mike","Matt","Nancy","Adam","Jenny","Nancy","Carl"];
var uniqueNames = [];
$.each(names, function(i, el){
    if($.inArray(el, uniqueNames) === -1) uniqueNames.push(el);
});

这里是另一种使用jQuery的方法，

function uniqueArray(array){
  if ($.isArray(array)){
    var dupes = {}; var len, i;
    for (i=0,len=array.length;i<len;i++){
      var test = array[i].toString();
      if (dupes[test]) { array.splice(i,1); len--; i--; } else { dupes[test] = true; }
    }
  } 
  else {
    if (window.console) console.log('Not passing an array to uniqueArray, returning whatever you sent it - not filtered!');
      return(array);
  }
  return(array);
}

这里非常简单，可以在任何地方（甚至在PhotoshopScript中）理解和工作代码。检查一下！

var peoplenames = new Array("Mike","Matt","Nancy","Adam","Jenny","Nancy","Carl");

peoplenames = unique(peoplenames);
alert(peoplenames);

function unique(array){
    var len = array.length;
    for(var i = 0; i < len; i++) for(var j = i + 1; j < len; j++) 
        if(array[j] == array[i]){
            array.splice(j,1);
            j--;
            len--;
        }
    return array;
}

//*result* peoplenames == ["Mike","Matt","Nancy","Adam","Jenny","Carl"]

除了是一个比当前答案更简单、更简洁的解决方案（减去未来的ES6答案）之外，我还测试了这一点，而且速度也快得多：

var uniqueArray = dupeArray.filter(function(item, i, self){
  return self.lastIndexOf(item) == i;
});

一个警告：Array.lastIndexOf（）是在IE9中添加的，所以如果您需要低于这个值，您需要在其他地方查找。

var duplicates = function(arr){
     var sorted = arr.sort();
   var dup = [];
   for(var i=0; i<sorted.length; i++){
        var rest  = sorted.slice(i+1); //slice the rest of array
       if(rest.indexOf(sorted[i]) > -1){//do indexOf
            if(dup.indexOf(sorted[i]) == -1)    
         dup.push(sorted[i]);//store it in another arr
      }
   }
   console.log(dup);
}

duplicates(["Mike","Matt","Nancy","Adam","Jenny","Nancy","Carl"]);
