How does Lodash's deep clone perform compared to native methods?

What is the performance of Lodash's deep clone compared to native JavaScript methods?

Lodash's deep clone is generally slower than native methods like structuredClone, especially for large objects.

Why is Lodash slower? What factors affect its performance?

Lodash's deep clone involves more overhead due to its extensive feature set and handling of various data types.

Are there specific scenarios where I should prefer Lodash over native methods?

Yes, if you need to clone complex objects with circular references or specific data types, Lodash can be more reliable.

Can you provide a code example comparing both methods?

Sure! Here's a simple comparison:

// Using Lodash
const _ = require('lodash');
const clonedObject = _.cloneDeep(originalObject);

// Using native method
const clonedObjectNative = structuredClone(originalObject);
