Benchmark: Rxjs several pipes vs one 100k without functional array functions at all

HTML Preparation code:

<script src='https://unpkg.com/rxjs@6.5.5/bundles/rxjs.umd.min.js'></script>

Script Preparation code:

var rawdata = Array.from(Array(100000).keys()) // 10k numbers 1,2,3,4,5...

Tests:

RxJS one pipe
let { from, Observable } = rxjs; let { flatMap, map, tap, toArray } = rxjs.operators; const data$ = from(rawdata) .pipe( map(values => { const finalValues = new Map(); values.forEach(value => { value = value * 2; if (value % 3 === 0) { finalValues.set(value.toString(), value) } }) return finalValues; }) ) let data; data$.subscribe(d => data = d);
Several pipes
let { from, Observable } = rxjs; let { flatMap, map, tap, toArray } = rxjs.operators; const data$ = from(rawdata) .pipe( map(values => values.map(value => value * 2)), map(values => values.filter(value => value % 3 === 0)), map(values => { const finalValues = new Map(); values.forEach(value => finalValues.set(value.toString(), value)); return finalValues; }) ) let data; data$.subscribe(d => data = d);

Let's dive into the benchmark.

**What is being tested?**

The provided benchmark tests two approaches for processing data using RxJS (Reactive Extensions for JavaScript), a library for reactive programming:

1. **RxJS one pipe**: This approach uses a single `map` operator to transform and filter the data in one step.
2. **Several pipes**: This approach breaks down the transformation into multiple smaller operators, such as `map`, `filter`, and another `map`.

**What are the options being compared?**

The two options being compared are:

1. Processing 100,000 numbers using a single `map` operator.
2. Processing 100,000 numbers using three separate `map` operators in sequence.

**Pros and cons of each approach:**

* **RxJS one pipe**: This approach is likely to be faster since it only involves a single operation. However, if the transformation or filtering logic becomes more complex, this approach may not scale well.
	+ Pros: Single operation, potentially faster
	+ Cons: May not handle complex transformations or filtering well
* **Several pipes**: This approach breaks down the transformation into smaller steps, which can make it easier to understand and maintain. However, it may be slower due to the additional operations.
	+ Pros: Easier to understand and maintain, potentially less error-prone
	+ Cons: May be slower due to multiple operations

**Library usage**

The benchmark uses RxJS library version 6.5.5.

**Special JS feature or syntax**

There is no special JavaScript feature or syntax being used in this benchmark.

**Other considerations**

* **Data structure**: The data is processed using a `Map` object, which may have performance implications.
* **Caching**: It's possible that the results are cached between executions, which could affect the accuracy of the benchmark.
* **Environment**: The benchmark is run on a Chrome 110 browser on a Mac OS X 10.15.7 desktop.

**Alternatives**

Other alternatives for processing data using RxJS include:

1. Using `forEach` and iterating over the array manually.
2. Using other operators, such as `reduce`, `forEachMap`, or `flatMap`.
3. Using a different library, such as Lodash or Ramda.

These alternatives may have different performance characteristics and trade-offs in terms of readability and maintainability.
