Set-like objects and Set also have properties and methods that share the same name and behavior. However unlike Set they only allow a specific predefined type for each entry.\n\nThe allowed types are set in the specification IDL definition. For example, {{domxref(\"GPUSupportedFeatures\")}} is a Set-like object that must use strings as the key/value. This is defined in the specification IDL below\n\nSet-like objects are either read-only or read-writable (see the readonly keyword in the IDL above).\n\nRead-only Set-like objects have the property {{jsxref(\"Set/size\", \"size\")}}, and the methods: {{jsxref(\"Set/entries\", \"entries()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"Set/forEach\", \"forEach()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"Set/has\", \"has()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"Set/keys\", \"keys()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"Set/values\", \"values()\")}}, and [Symbol.iterator](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Set/Symbol.iterator). Writeable Set-like objects additionally have the methods: {{jsxref(\"Set/clear\", \"clear()\")}}, {{jsxref(\"Set/delete\", \"delete()\")}}, and {{jsxref(\"Set/add\", \"add()\")}}.\n\nThe methods and properties have the same behavior as the equivalent entities in Set, except for the restriction on the types of the entry.\n\nThe following are examples of read-only Set-like browser objects\n\n{{domxref(\"GPUSupportedFeatures\")}} {{domxref(\"XRAnchorSet\")}}\n\nThe following are examples of writable Set-like browser objects\n\n{{domxref(\"CustomStateSet\")}} {{domxref(\"FontFaceSet\")}} {{domxref(\"Highlight\")}} {{domxref(\"ViewTransitionTypeSet\")}}\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
