# Introduction

An *iterable* is a data structure that wants to make its elements
accessible to the public. It does so by implementing a method whose key
is
[Symbol.iterator](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol/iterator).
That method is a factory for
[iterators](20201014092846-javascript_iterator).
