In javascript, Map is used to store key-value pairs. The key-value pairs can be of both primitive and non-primitive types.

WeakMap is similar to Map with key differences:

The keys and values in weakmap should always be an object.

If there are no references to the object, the object will be garbage collected.

const map1 = new Map();

map1.set('Value', 1);

const map2 = new WeakMap();

map2.set('Value', 2.3); // Throws an error

let obj = {name:"Vivek"};

const map3 = new WeakMap();

map3.set(obj, {age:23});
