jQuery源码之 empty与html('')的区别

empty: function() {
        var elem,
            i = 0;

        for ( ; (elem = this[i]) != null; i++ ) {
            // Remove element nodes and prevent memory leaks
            if ( elem.nodeType === 1 ) {
                                //循环清除Data数据
                jQuery.cleanData( getAll( elem, false ) );
            }

            // 移除child
            while ( elem.firstChild ) {
                elem.removeChild( elem.firstChild );
            }

            // If this is a select, ensure that it displays empty (#12336)
            // Support: IE<9
            if ( elem.options && jQuery.nodeName( elem, "select" ) ) {
                elem.options.length = 0;
            }
        }

        return this;
    },    

代码中，首先清除了所有的data数据，那么data都包含哪些内容呢？

getALl方法查找到到所有后代元素。jquery的getAll代码如下：

var strundefined = typeof undefined;
function getAll( context, tag ) {
    var elems, elem,
        i = 0,
        found = typeof context.getElementsByTagName !== strundefined ? context.getElementsByTagName( tag || "*" ) :
            typeof context.querySelectorAll !== strundefined ? context.querySelectorAll( tag || "*" ) :
            undefined;

    if ( !found ) {
        for ( found = [], elems = context.childNodes || context; (elem = elems[i]) != null; i++ ) {
            if ( !tag || jQuery.nodeName( elem, tag ) ) {
                found.push( elem );
            } else {
                jQuery.merge( found, getAll( elem, tag ) );
            }
        }
    }

    return tag === undefined || tag && jQuery.nodeName( context, tag ) ?
        jQuery.merge( [ context ], found ) :
        found;
}

getAll(document.body,false);// HTMLCollection Array
