Low-level languages, like C, have low-level memory management primitives like malloc() and free() . JavaScript values are allocated when things (objects, strings, etc.) are created and "automatically" freed when they are not used anymore.
There is no dispose method in javascript, but you can use the delete operator to delete a property from an object as long as the property is configurable.
