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

**What is being tested?**

The provided JSON represents two individual test cases, each comparing the performance of using `Object.keys()` vs `_.findKey()` (from Lodash library) to find the value of a specific key in an object. The objects being used are `partnerType` and `pointOfSaleType`.

**Options compared:**

There are two options being compared:

1. **Object keys**: Using the built-in `Object.keys()` method to get an array of keys from the `partnerType` object, and then using the `indexOf()` method to find the index of the value of `pointOfSaleType`.
2. **Lodash findKey**: Using Lodash's `_findKey()` function to directly find the key with a specific value.

**Pros and Cons:**

1. **Object keys**:
	* Pros: Native JavaScript function, likely faster since it doesn't rely on an external library.
	* Cons: Requires two separate operations (getting keys and finding index), which can be slower than using a single method.
2. **Lodash findKey**:
	* Pros: Faster since it's implemented in C++ and optimized for performance, uses fewer operations compared to `Object.keys()`.
	* Cons: Relies on an external library (Lodash), which may not be present or up-to-date in all environments.

**Library and purpose:**

The Lodash library is a popular JavaScript utility library that provides a wide range of functions for various tasks, such as array manipulation, object manipulation, string manipulation, and more. In this case, the `_findKey()` function is used to find the key with a specific value in an object.

**Special JS feature or syntax:**

There are no special JS features or syntaxes being used in these test cases. The code is standard JavaScript syntax.

**Other alternatives:**

If `Object.keys()` and Lodash's `_findKey()` aren't suitable, other alternatives could be:

* Using a custom implementation of the find key function.
* Using a different library that provides similar functionality, such as Moment.js or Underscore.js.
* Using a different approach altogether, such as using a hash table to store the object keys and values.

Note: The benchmark's purpose is to compare the performance of these two approaches in JavaScript, not to provide an exhaustive list of alternatives.
