What is the leading LINQ for JavaScript library? [closed]
You might want to check out linq.js. It follows the .NET lambda syntax and looks to be well integrated in a Microsoft environment.
LINQ for JavaScript - http://linqjs.codeplex.com/
Pros
- Implements all .NET 4.0 methods
- Complete lazy evaluation
- Full IntelliSense support for VisualStudio
- Supports jQuery
- Supports Windows Script Host
- Binding for Reactive Extensions for JavaScript(RxJS) and IntelliSense Generator
- NuGet install support
- Updated recently (last release Jan 2011)
- Syntax conforms to lambda syntax in C#
Cons
- The linq.js library is a little large.
- If you are already using jQuery or other js library, the most commonly used functionality is probably already available. See especially jQuery's filter, and 'Any' methods.
The most basic and frequently used Linq operators are very commonly defined in widely used JS libraries. They just have different names (in fact, they have more traditional names than in Linq). Select becomes map, Where becomes filter, First and FirstOrDefault become [0].
Almost no library I know of (including I think the ones you linked to) bother to make the implementation lazy as in .NET Linq, they just evaluate immediately using arrays.
