现在是2017年。

我做了一些测试

https://jsperf.com/fastest-way-to-iterate-through-an-array/

看起来while方法在Chrome上是最快的。

看起来左边递减(——i)比Firefox上的其他递减(++i, i——，i++)快得多。

这种方法平均来说是最快的。但是它以相反的顺序迭代数组。

let i = array.length;
while (--i >= 0) {
    doSomething(array[i]);
}

如果前向顺序很重要，可以使用这种方法。

let ii = array.length;
let i = 0;
while (i < ii) {
    doSomething(array[i]);
    ++i;
}

现在是2018年，所以更新一下会很好……

我真的不同意这个公认的答案。 它在不同的浏览器上有所不同。有的forEach更快，有的for循环，有的while 这里是所有方法的基准https://jsben.ch/mW36e

arr.forEach( a => {
  // ...
}

因为你可以看到很多for循环，比如for(a = 0;…)值得一提的是，如果没有'var'，变量将被全局定义，这可能会极大地影响速度，因此它会变慢。

**缓存数组的长度在循环内，一些秒的时间将被规避。取决于数组中的项，如果数组中有更多项，则时间毫秒有很大差异*

**

sArr; //Array[158];

for(var i = 0 ; i <sArr.length ; i++) {
 callArray(sArr[i]); //function call
}

***end: 6.875ms***

**

**

sArr; //Array[158];
for(var i = 0,len = sArr.length ; i < len ; i++) {
  callArray(sArr[i]); //function call
}

***end: 1.354ms***

截至2016年6月，在最新的Chrome上做了一些测试(2016年5月，浏览器市场份额为71%，并且还在增加):

The fastest loop is a for loop, both with and without caching length delivering really similar performance. (The for loop with cached length sometimes delivered better results than the one without caching, but the difference is almost negligible, which means the engine might be already optimized to favor the standard and probably most straightforward for loop without caching). The while loop with decrements was approximately 1.5 times slower than the for loop. A loop using a callback function (like the standard forEach), was approximately 10 times slower than the for loop.

我相信这个线程太旧了，它误导程序员认为他们需要缓存长度，或者使用反向遍历，同时递减来获得更好的性能，编写的代码不太容易读懂，更容易出错，而不是简单直接的for循环。因此，我建议:

If your app iterates over a lot of items or your loop code is inside a function that is used often, a straightforward for loop is the answer: for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { // Do stuff with arr[i] or i } If your app doesn't really iterate through lots of items or you just need to do small iterations here and there, using the standard forEach callback or any similar function from your JS library of choice might be more understandable and less prone to errors, since index variable scope is closed and you don't need to use brackets, accessing the array value directly: arr.forEach(function(value, index) { // Do stuff with value or index }); If you really need to scratch a few milliseconds while iterating over billions of rows and the length of your array doesn't change through the process, you might consider caching the length in your for loop. Although I think this is really not necessary nowadays: for (var i = 0, len = arr.length; i < len; i++) { // Do stuff with arr[i] }

“最好”是指纯粹的表演吗?还是性能和可读性?

纯性能“最佳”是这个，它使用缓存和++前缀操作符(我的数据:http://jsperf.com/caching-array-length/189)

for (var i = 0, len = myArray.length; i < len; ++i) {
  // blah blah
}

我认为无缓存的for循环是执行时间和程序员读取时间的最佳平衡。每一个从C/ c++ /Java开始的程序员都不会浪费时间去阅读这本书

for(var i=0; i < arr.length; i++){
  // blah blah
}
