Benchmark: regex vs bigint - MeasureThat.net

Script Preparation code:

// Test description: Comparing regex validation vs try-catch with BigInt for numeric string validation

// Setup
const validTokenId = "12345678901234567890"; // Valid numeric string
const invalidTokenId = "123abc456"; // Invalid numeric string containing letters

// Test function for regex validation
function validateWithRegex(tokenId) {
    return /^\d+$/.test(tokenId);
}

// Test function for try-catch validation
function validateWithTryCatch(tokenId) {
    try {
        BigInt(tokenId);
        return true;
    } catch {
        return false;
    }
}
