The **`entries()`** method of {{jsxref("Map")}} instances returns a new _[map iterator](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Iterator)_ object that contains the `[key, value]` pairs for each element in this map in insertion order.

{{InteractiveExample("JavaScript Demo: Map.prototype.entries()")}}

```js interactive-example
const map = new Map();

map.set("0", "foo");
map.set(1, "bar");

const iterator = map.entries();

console.log(iterator.next().value);
// Expected output: Array ["0", "foo"]

console.log(iterator.next().value);
// Expected output: Array [1, "bar"]
```

## Syntax

```js-nolint

```

### Parameters

A new [iterable iterator object](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Iterator).
