When designing your 4D applications, you’ll often need to choose between using arrays and collections. Although both structures store references to data, arrays typically offer better performance in terms of speed and memory management—especially when handling homogeneous data. Collections, however, provide greater flexibility by accommodating heterogeneous data types, which can be invaluable in more complex scenarios.
