Array Explorer is an educational web-based resource created by Sarah Drasner to help developers understand and select the appropriate JavaScript array method (like map, filter, reduce, find, etc.) when they’re stuck wondering “which one should I use?” Instead of diving into endless docs, you can use the interactive tool to specify what you’re trying to accomplish—e.g., “remove items,” “transform items,” “find something,” “aggregate results”—then see which methods match and get live code examples. The tool provides visual examples, explanations of method semantics, and code snippets you can copy into your own project. Because many JavaScript learners struggle with which array method to choose or misuse them, this resource offers an approachable way to learn by doing and exploring rather than memorizing. The front-end is friendly and responsive, with filtering UI that lets you narrow based on the kind of task you’re performing.

Features

  • Interactive UI allowing users to specify the kind of array operation they want (transform, filter, aggregate, etc)
  • Live examples and code snippets for each relevant JavaScript array method
  • Searchable/filterable list of array methods to help discover unfamiliar ones
  • Visual demonstration of how methods work under the hood (input → result)
  • Open-source and MIT-licensed so learners can fork and extend the tool
  • Good resource for intermediate JavaScript developers improving their functional/array method fluency
