# blank-object Object.create(null) turns out to be quite slow to alloc in v8, but instead if we inherit from an ancestory with `proto = create(null)` we have nearly the same functionallity but with dramatically faster alloc. ```js var BlankObject = require('blank-object'); var bo = new BlankObject(); ``` This is designed for a presence check `map[key] !== undefined` since `in` is also slow like `hasOwnProperty`, `delete` and `Object.create`. ```js function UNDEFINED() {} export default class Map { constructor() { this.store = new BlankObject(); } has(key) { return this.store[key] !== undefined; } get(key) { let val = this.store[key]; return val === UNDEFINED ? undefined : val; } set(key, val) { this.store[key] = val === undefined ? UNDEFINED : val; } } ```
