[!INCLUDE Microsoft Edge team note for top of What's New]
In Microsoft Edge 103, when taking a heap snapshot in the Memory tool, there are two new node types:
- BigInt - Used to represent and manipulate values that are too large to be represented by the Number node type. See BigInt.
- Object shape - Refers to the hidden classes and descriptor arrays that V8 (the JavaScript engine of Microsoft Edge) uses to understand and index the properties on objects. See HiddenClasses and DescriptorArrays in Fast properties in V8.
For history, see Issue 12769: Improve categorization of objects in heap snapshots.
