Benchmark: JUST Object.entries VS Object.keys VS Object.values

Script Preparation code:

function makeid() {
  var text = "";
  var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";

  for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));

  return text;
}

window.parentObj = {};

for (let i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
	window.parentObj[makeid()] = makeid();
}

Let's dive into the explanation of the provided benchmark.

**Overview**
The test case, "JUST Object.entries VS Object.keys VS Object.values", compares the performance of three methods: `Object.entries()`, `Object.keys()`, and `Object.values()` on a specific JavaScript object. The benchmark is designed to measure which method is the fastest for iterating over an object's properties.

**Benchmark Preparation Code**
The preparation code creates a large JavaScript object, `window.parentObj`, with 10,000 properties where each property has a random key (a string of 5 characters) and a corresponding value. This object is created using a function called `makeid()`, which generates a random string of 5 characters.

**Individual Test Cases**
There are three individual test cases:

1. **`Object.entries(window.parentObj)`**: This method returns an array of [key, value] pairs from the specified object.
2. **`Object.keys(window.parentObj)`**: This method returns an array of keys (string values) from the specified object.
3. **`Object.values(window.parentObj)`**: This method returns an array of values (values associated with the key-value pairs) from the specified object.

**Comparison**
The benchmark compares the performance of these three methods by executing each one a large number of times and measuring how many executions per second are performed on a specific browser configuration (Firefox 120, running on a Mac OS X 10.15 desktop).

**Options Compared**

* `Object.entries()` vs `Object.keys()`: Both methods iterate over the object's properties, but `Object.entries()` returns an array of key-value pairs, while `Object.keys()` returns only an array of keys.
* `Object.values()` vs `Object.keys()`: This is a comparison between two methods that return different types of data: values and keys.

**Pros and Cons**

* **`Object.entries()`**:
	+ Pros: Returns an array of key-value pairs, which can be useful for iterating over objects with custom logic.
	+ Cons: May have additional overhead due to creating an array of pairs.
* **`Object.keys()`**:
	+ Pros: Lightweight, efficient, and easy to use.
	+ Cons: Only returns an array of keys, which may limit its usefulness in certain scenarios.
* **`Object.values()`**:
	+ Pros: Returns an array of values, which can be useful for iterating over objects with specific logic.
	+ Cons: May have additional overhead due to creating an array of values.

**Library**
None. This benchmark only uses built-in JavaScript methods.

**Special JS Feature/Syntax**
No special features or syntax are used in this benchmark. It's focused on comparing the performance of three standard JavaScript methods.

**Alternatives**

* If you're looking for alternative methods to iterate over objects, consider using `for...in`, `forEach()`, or `reduce()`.
* For specific use cases, you might prefer other libraries like Lodash or Ramda, which provide additional functions for working with objects and arrays.
