Lodash vs Native Cloning: Which is Better?

What are the differences between Lodash cloning and native JavaScript cloning?

Lodash provides deep cloning with _.cloneDeep(), while native methods like Object.assign() and the spread operator only perform shallow cloning.

When should I use Lodash for cloning instead of native methods?

Use Lodash when you need to clone complex objects with nested structures, as it handles deep cloning automatically.

Are there performance differences between the two methods?

Yes, native methods are generally faster for shallow cloning, but Lodash is more reliable for deep cloning, especially with circular references.

Can you give an example of using Lodash for deep cloning?

Sure! You can use const clonedObject = _.cloneDeep(originalObject); to create a deep clone of originalObject.
