Benchmark: Compare string-to-value or valueArray-to-string

Script Preparation code:

var sortTypeSelected = "Created: Oldest";
var SortTypes = {
    AlphaUp: "Company Name: A-Z",
    AlphaDown: "Company Name: Z-A",
    Created: "Created: Oldest",
    Updated: "Updated: Latest",
};

Tests:

Compare string-to-value
( sortTypeSelected === SortTypes.Created || sortTypeSelected === SortTypes.Updated )
Compare valueArray-to-string
[SortTypes.Created, SortTypes.Updated ].includes( sortTypeSelected )

**Benchmark Explanation**

The provided JSON represents a benchmark test on MeasurThat.net, comparing the performance of two approaches to determine if a string matches a specific sorting order.

**Approaches Compared**

There are two approaches being compared:

1. **String-to-Value**: This approach checks if the `sortTypeSelected` variable is equal to one of the values in the `SortTypes` object.
2. **ValueArray-to-String**: This approach checks if the `sortTypeSelected` variable is included in an array of values from the `SortTypes` object.

**Options Compared**

The two approaches are compared by executing the corresponding JavaScript code. The benchmark results show that the "Compare string-to-value" test has a higher number of executions per second than the "Compare valueArray-to-string" test.

**Pros and Cons**

* **String-to-Value Approach**: Pros:
	+ Simple to implement
	+ Fast execution (higher executions per second)
Cons:
	+ May be slower for large datasets or complex sorting orders
* **ValueArray-to-String Approach**: Pros:
	+ More robust for handling multiple values in the sorting order
	+ May be faster for larger datasets or more complex sorting orders
Cons:
	+ Slower execution (lower executions per second)

**Library and Purpose**

There is no explicit library mentioned in the provided JSON. However, it's likely that the `SortTypes` object is a custom object created by the benchmark author.

**Special JS Features/Syntax**

The benchmark uses JavaScript variables (`var`, `sortTypeSelected`) and array notation (`[SortTypes.Created, SortTypes.Updated].includes( sortTypeSelected )`). These are standard features of modern JavaScript, but not explicitly mentioned in the explanation for wider audiences.

**Other Alternatives**

If the "Compare string-to-value" or "Compare valueArray-to-string" approaches were not used, alternative methods could include:

* Using regular expressions to match strings against patterns
* Utilizing a more efficient data structure, such as a Trie, for matching values
* Employing a different sorting algorithm (e.g., merge sort, quick sort) for comparison

However, these alternatives are not explicitly mentioned in the provided JSON or benchmark results.
