Do javascript variables have a storage limit?

Question

Do javascript variables have a storage capacity limit?

I\'m designing one YUI datatable where I fetch the data from database and store it in a js object and wherever

Answer 1

There isn't such a limit.

It looks that there is a limit at 16GB, but you can read some tests below or in @ssube's answer.

But probably when your object/json is around 50 mb you'll encounter strange behaviour.

For Json here is an interesting article : http://josh.zeigler.us/technology/web-development/how-big-is-too-big-for-json/

For Js Object you have more knowledge here: javascript object max size limit (saying that there isn't such a limit but encounter strange behaviour at ~40 mb)
