DoublyList implementation in JavaScript
To manage a list of elements. Best use case: elements are frequently removed from the list. Complexity in O(1) for addition and removal.
Note: Benchmarks seem to show that list iteration is as fast as array iteration on all major browsers.
To instantiate a new list:
var myList = new DoublyList();

To add an element:
var myObjectReference = myList.add(myObject); // add on front by default
// or
var myObjectReference = myList.addFront(myObject);
// or
var myObjectReference = myList.addBack(myObject);

To remove an element:
myList.removeByReference(myObjectReference); // O(1)
// or
myList.remove(myObject); // O(n)

To pop an element:
var myObject = myList.pop(); // pop from front by default
// or
var myObject = myList.popFront();
// or
var myObject = myList.popBack();

To insert an element before the given node:
var myOtherObjectReference = myList.addBefore(myObjectReference, myOtherObject);

To insert an element after the given node:
var myOtherObjectReference = myList.addAfter(myObjectReference, myOtherObject);

To move an element to the beginning:
myList.moveToTheBeginning(myObjectReference);

To move an element to the end:
myList.moveToTheEnd(myObjectReference);

To iterate through the elements:
for (var node = myList.first; node !== null; node = node.next) {
	node.object += 1;
}

To apply a treatment on all the elements:
myList.forEach(function (object) {
	console.log(object);
});

To convert into an array:
var myArray = myList.toArray();
