User innerHTML to Create your DOMUse DOM Efficiently
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">function helloWorld() {
alert('Hello World!') ;}
</script>
</head>
<body>
…
</body>
</html>
Avoid Inline JavaScriptEfficiently Structure Markup
JSON Always Faster than XML for Data

Manage your resources
URL.revokeObjectURL
var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob, {oneTimeOnly: true});
// Pick an image filepicker.pickSingleFileAsync()
.then(function (file) {var properties = Windows.Storage.FileProperties.ThumbnailMode;return file.getThumbnailAsync(properties.singleItem, 1024);
}).then(function (thumb) {
var imgTag = document.getElementById("imageTag");imgTag.src = URL.createObjectURL(thumb, false);
});
// Pick an image filepicker.pickSingleFileAsync()
.then(function (file) {var imgTag = document.getElementById("imageTag");imgTag.src = URL.createObjectURL(file, false);
});
Manage your Resources:
// Open File Picker
var picker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker();
picker.fileTypeFilter.replaceAll([".jpg", ".png"]);
