About this tool
JavaScript Memory Reference
The JavaScript Memory Reference covers event listener leaks, closure retention, WeakMap/WeakSet, Performance.memory API, React cleanup patterns, and DevTools heap profiling.
• Look up event listener leak patterns before auditing a large SPA
• Reference WeakMap usage before implementing a cache that won't leak
• Find React useEffect cleanup pattern before investigating a memory leak
• Reference heap snapshot comparison technique before a memory profiling session

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The JavaScript Memory Reference covers event listener leaks, closure retention, WeakMap/WeakSet, Performance.memory API, React cleanup patterns, and DevTools heap profiling.
What affects the result most?
Memory leak sources: event listeners not removed, global variables, closures over large objects, detached DOM. WeakMap/WeakSet: hold weak references — GC collects entries when key has no other references. Performance.memory: non-standard Chrome API — usedJSHeapSize, totalJSHeapSize, jsHeapSizeLimit.
How should I use the result?
Use this tool to orient quickly to the concepts, field names, or values you are about to look up in a full specification or vendor documentation. It summarizes the common cases; the authoritative source remains whichever standard or vendor doc defines the values themselves.
