Benchmark: Lodash isEmpty vs Length < 1 check

HTML Preparation code:

<script src="lodash.js"></script>

Script Preparation code:

// empty array
window.foo1 = [];

// array of strings
window.foo2 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'];

// array of objects
window.foo3 = [{ a: 1, b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2 } } }, { a: 1, b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2 } } }, { a: 1, b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2 } } }];

Tests:

Empty array - Length
window.foo1.length < 1;
Empty array - lodash
_.isEmpty(window.foo1);
String array - length
window.foo2.length < 1;
String array - lodash
_.isEmpty(window.foo2);
Obj array - length
window.foo3.length < 1;
Obj array - lodash
_.isEmpty(window.foo3);
