title: Javascript - efficient way to store/work with my large object list
body: <p>I'm working on creating an online guide.  It will survey users, and based on their answers, output a list that best suits their needs.</p>
  
  <p>I'm about to assemble a large list of objects and properties, but before I spend too much time on it, I'd like to address some concerns:</p>
  
  <p>To give you an idea of what I'm going for, here's an example using an interactive guide to finding a travel destination:</p>
  
  <p>Questions for the user:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form name="equator" action=""&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;What side of the equator do you want to visit?&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;input type="radio" name="equator" value="north"&gt;North&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;input type="radio" name="equator" value="south"&gt;South&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;form name="english" action=""&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Does English need to be the first language?&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;input type="radio" name="english" value="yes"&gt;Yes&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;input type="radio" name="english" value="no"&gt;No&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;form name="beach" action=""&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Do you want a nearby beach?&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;input type="radio" name="beach" value="yes"&gt;Yes&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;input type="radio" name="beach" value="maybe"&gt;Maybe&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;input type="radio" name="beach" value="no"&gt;No&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The following is the way I plan to create the object list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>destinations = [
  
  {
      name: "Moscow", equator: "north", english: "no", beach: "no"
  },
  
  {
      name: "Lima", equator: "south", english: "no", beach: "no"
  },
  
  {
      name: "Nantucket", equator: "north", english: "yes", beach: "yes"
  },
  
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In the project I'm working on, the object list will actually number in the hundreds, with up-to two dozen properties.  That said, here are my concerns (in case it affects your answers, I should note that my experience with Javascript only dates back about two weeks): </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is my example above an efficient way to store an object list, considering it's potential size?  If not, can you suggest something better?  </li>
  <li>My experience with Javascript so far has consisted of slogging through "w3schools" tutorials and creating mini projects to get a feel for the language...so far every script I've created has processed instantaneously.  Taking my project--as outlined--into consideration, should I be concerned about any performance hits?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time.</p>
