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