Benchmark: Object Destruct vs Object.assign 2

Tests:

object destruct
const a = { hello: "world", world: "hello" }; const b = {...a, right: "wrong", wrong: "right"};
Object.assign
const a = { hello: "world", world: "hello" }; const b = Object.assign({}, a, {right: "wrong", wrong: "right"});

Let's break down the provided benchmark and explain what's being tested.

The benchmark measures the performance difference between two approaches: object destructuring and `Object.assign()` when creating a new object with some common properties from an existing object, while also adding new properties.

**Approaches Compared:**

1. **Object Destructure**: This approach uses the syntax `{...a, right: "wrong", wrong: "right"}` to create a new object that inherits the properties of `a` and adds the specified additional properties.
2. **Object.assign()**: This approach uses the `Object.assign()` method to merge two objects together: one is an existing object `a`, and another is an object with the added properties `{ right: "wrong", wrong: "right"}`.

**Pros and Cons of Each Approach:**

1. **Object Destructure**:
	* Pros: concise syntax, can be faster since it only creates a shallow copy of the original object.
	* Cons: may not work as expected if the original object is modified elsewhere in the code.
2. **Object.assign()**:
	* Pros: more explicit and predictable behavior, works even if the original object is modified.
	* Cons: slightly slower due to the overhead of calling an extra method.

Other considerations:

* Both approaches create a new object, but the object destructuring approach creates a shallow copy, whereas `Object.assign()` merges the objects on the deepest level.
* The use of spread syntax (`{...a}`) is a relatively recent feature in JavaScript (introduced in ECMAScript 2018), and some older browsers might not support it.

**Library Used:**

None explicitly mentioned. However, `Object.assign()` uses the native JavaScript method to merge objects.

**Special JS Feature or Syntax:**

* **Spread syntax (`{...a}`)**: This is a relatively new feature in JavaScript (introduced in ECMAScript 2018) that allows creating a new object with spread properties from an existing object. It's used in both benchmark test cases.

Now, let's talk about other alternatives:

Other methods to create a new object with some common properties from an existing object include:

* Using `Object.create()`: `const b = Object.create(a)(right: "wrong", wrong: "right")`
* Using a loop and `Object.prototype property` accessors: `for (const key in a) if (!a.hasOwnProperty(key)) { b[key] = value; }`
* Using the `lodash` library's `merge()` method

Keep in mind that these alternatives might have different performance characteristics or may require additional setup, so they're not typically considered standard methods for creating new objects.

In summary, the benchmark measures the performance difference between object destructuring and `Object.assign()` when creating a new object with some common properties from an existing object.
