I'm wondering where is the callback function of addEventListener stored.

In the spec.whatwg, they say like this,

"Each EventTarget object has an associated event listener list (a list of zero or more event listeners). It is initially the empty list."

Is this all?

Then, how can we access that list by JavaScript ?

    You can not access the list of events attached to the element with JavaScript. Commented Mar 2, 2022 at 18:41

    "Is this all?" - Is this not enough? And no, you cannot access this list from JavaScript, it's an implementation detail and there is no interface to expose it. Commented Mar 2, 2022 at 18:48
