Feel free to test your theory. It sounds like duplication of work to me as in: The DOM does have some sort of list so why keep our own? Making and manipulation Array is supposedly also not very performant.
Regarding text nodes, I haven't looked to see when text nodes are intentionally children of a UIBase. Maybe the elements should be allowed to be text nodes. -Alex On 6/22/17, 4:11 AM, "Harbs" <harbs.li...@gmail.com> wrote: >Is there a reason we are using the underlying node lists for our >collection of elements? > >I would think that it would be more performant (at the possible cost of >some extra memory) to keep a list of FlexJS elements. > >childNodes are live collections which need to constantly be resolved so >they should not be very performant.
