The Java collection method "contains" doesn't support anything but exact match.

Nothing will avoid iteration because the collection type doesn't do anything that would allow for any other comparison to happen at less than O(n) performance.

There are some functional idioms in Java 8 or the Guva library we include that make the syntax nicer but getting them to work in Javascript would be at least somewhat painful the first time.
