By this I mean when calling .push()
on an Array object and JavaScript increases the capacity (in number of elements) of the underlying "array". Also, if there is a good resource for finding this sort of information for JS, that would be helpful to include.

It seems that the JS Array is like an object literal with special properties. However, I'm interested in a lower level of detail--how browsers implement this in their respective JS engines.
Creating an Array Using an array literal is the easiest way to create a JavaScript Array. Syntax: const array_name = [item1, item2, ...]; It is a common practice to declare arrays with the const keyword.
When you want to add an element to the end of your array, use push(). If you need to add an element to the beginning of your array, try unshift(). And you can add arrays together using concat().
Implementation of arrays performs various operations like push (adding element), pop (deleting element) element at the end of the array, getting the element from particular index, inserting and deleting element from particular index. // It store the length of array. this .
There cannot be any single correct answer to this qurstion. An array's mechanism for expanding is an internal implementation detail and can vary from one JS implementation to another. In fact, the Tamarin engine has two different implementations used internally for arrays depending on if it determines if the array is going to be sequential or sparse.
