What is the maximum string content that can fit inside a Javascript variable?
I had this requirement where my Ajax script would return a sizeable amount of data for processing.
It was at this moment that I wondered if the returned value would fit inside a variable. I browsed through some of the available feedback in a Google search.
Most of them opined that there is no limit on the string variable content.
How do we check the maximum value for a string variable?
So, I thought, "let us check it in real time".
As per my test, I found out that a large string with a length of 102400 was initialized without generating any JavaScript error.
I am sure, nobody would require anything more than this inside their JavaScript variable.
Here is my statement:
I tested by initializing a JavaScript variable, in the browser console, with over 100,000 characters without an error.
My test machine was an I7 with 4GB of RAM.
