Must Known Interview Question #5 for Front End Devs Q: As JavaScript is single-threaded, how did all the apps built with JS achieve high performance? Ans: JavaScript apps achieve high performance through the following mechanisms: 1. Event Loop and Asynchronous Programming: JavaScript uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model via an event loop, which allows it to handle many tasks efficiently. And async/await and promises allow writing asynchronous code in a synchronous manner, improving readability and maintainability without blocking the main thread. 2. Web Workers: Allow running scripts in background threads, enabling parallel processing for tasks like data manipulation and computationally intensive operations. 3. JIT(Just In Time) Compilation: Compiles JavaScript code to machine code at runtime, improving execution speed and performance. 4. Efficient Memory Management: Using Garbage Collection, JS automatically frees up memory by removing objects that are no longer in use, preventing memory leaks and optimizing performance. 5. Optimized Libraries and Frameworks: JavaScript libraries and frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js are designed with performance optimizations like Virtual DOM: which efficiently updates the UI by minimizing direct DOM manipulations and Tree Shaking: removes unused code during the build process, reducing the application's size and improving load times. 6. Progressive Enhancement & Lazy Loading: Progressive Enhancement ensures that the core content of the application is accessible quickly, even if advanced features take longer to load while Lazy Loading delays the loading of non-critical resources until they are needed which results in reducing the initial load time. #javascript #interview #question #performance
