How are strings physically stored in Javascript
<p>What I am looking for is how strings are physically treated in Javascript. Best example I can think of for what I mean is that in the Java api it describes the storage of strings as: </p>

<p><code>String str = "abc";" is equivalent to: "char data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};</code></p>

<p>To me this says it uses an array object and stores each character as its own object to be used/accessed later (I am usually wrong on these things!)...</p>

<p>How does Javascript do this?</p>
