Creating lists in Mendix is one of its core features. You can use lists for looping over objects. Lists can improve performance by batch-committing objects. Aggregation functions can perform calculations and summations on your list, making them an integral part of any Mendix applications. However, as lists grow larger, they start to become SLOW. You might wonder why. Mendix is based on Java. This means that most of what you create in Mendix is translated into Java code. When you create a Mendix list, you’re essentially creating an ArrayList. ArrayLists are convenient because they’re flexible. They allow you to add objects to it on the fly without requiring you to pre-allocate memory. ArrayLists support a wide range of operations, including insertion, removal, and retrieval of elements, making them versatile data structures for managing collections of objects. Of course, Mendix handles all of this in the background. ...
