I’ve encapsulated them in my b9j javascript toolkit

Here is the documentation on namespacing:

I was wondering what sort of licence the code has on it? Is this open source?Many thanks for your other thoughts on Functional and Object Orientated programming in JS, it truly is a flexible language! Hi,

I haven’t done any performance evaluations of the function, but I would argue that the namespace function is at least as efficient in terms of space and time as manual namespace creation:

In terms of space, the same number of objects are created so there is no difference.

In terms of time, the algorithm is simply doing what you would do manually, i.e., check if the package object already exists and if not create it.

I have used these functions in a large scale JavaScript project with success.
