Deprecated
This feature has been removed from the Web standards. Though some browsers may still support it, it is in the process of being dropped. Avoid using it and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

Non-standard. The StopIteration object is a SpiderMonkey-specific feature. For future-facing usages, consider using for..of loops and the iterator protocol.

The StopIteration object is used to tell the end of the iteration in the legacy iterator protocol.

Throwing StopIteration.

function f() {
  yield 1;
  yield 2;
  throw StopIteration;
  yield 3; // this is not executed.
