Benchmark: JSONification perf

Script Preparation code:

comp1 = {
  x: 0,
  y: 10
};

class Comp {
  x = 0;
  y = 10;
  default() { console.log('foo'); }
}

comp2 = new Comp();

Tests:

Object stringify
const c = JSON.stringify(comp1);
Class stringify
const d = JSON.stringify(comp2);

**Benchmark Overview**

The provided JSON represents a JavaScript microbenchmark created on MeasureThat.net. The benchmark tests the performance of two different approaches: stringifying an object and stringifying a class instance.

**Options Being Compared**

There are two options being compared:

1. **Object Stringify**: This option involves converting a plain object (`comp1`) to a JSON string using `JSON.stringify()`.
2. **Class Stringify**: This option involves converting a class instance (`comp2`) to a JSON string using `JSON.stringify()`.

**Pros and Cons of Each Approach**

Here's a brief analysis of the pros and cons of each approach:

* **Object Stringify**:
	+ Pros: Simple and widely supported, as `JSON.stringify()` is a built-in method in most JavaScript implementations.
	+ Cons: May not be suitable for large objects or complex data structures, as it can lead to performance issues due to the overhead of serializing objects recursively.
* **Class Stringify**:
	+ Pros: Can represent complex class instances and their relationships more accurately than object stringification. This might be useful in certain use cases where the structure of the class instance is important.
	+ Cons: Requires a class definition, which can add complexity to the benchmarking process. Additionally, some browsers may not support serializing class instances, or they may have specific quirks when doing so.

**Library and Syntax Used**

The benchmark uses `JSON.stringify()` from the built-in JavaScript library. There are no special libraries or syntax features mentioned in this benchmark.

**Other Considerations**

When choosing between these two approaches, consider the following factors:

* **Data Structure Complexity**: If you're working with simple data structures like plain objects, object stringification might be sufficient. For more complex data structures or class instances, class stringification might provide better accuracy.
* **Performance Requirements**: Object stringification is often faster due to its simplicity and lack of overhead. However, this depends on the specific use case and requirements.

**Alternatives**

Other alternatives for serializing objects or class instances in JavaScript include:

* Using a library like `json-stringify-safe` or `class-serializer`, which can provide additional features like recursive serialization or support for complex data structures.
* Implementing your own custom serialization function, taking into account the specific requirements of your use case.

In summary, the benchmark on MeasureThat.net compares two approaches to serializing objects and class instances in JavaScript: object stringification and class stringification. The choice between these approaches depends on the complexity of the data structure being serialized, performance requirements, and specific use cases.
