Script Preparation code:

var MyObject = {
  description: 'Creates a deep copy of source, which should be an object or an array.',
  myNumber: 123456789,
  myBoolean: true,
  jayson: {
    stringify: 'JSON.stringify() method converts a JavaScript value to a JSON string....',

Tests:

Lodash cloneDeep
myCopy = _.cloneDeep(MyObject);
Json clone
myCopy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(MyObject));
Ramda clone
myCopy = R.clone(MyObject);
hand rolled
const cp=(obj)=>"object" === typeof obj ? Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(obj).map(([k,v])=>[k,cp(v)])) : obj myCopy = cp(MyObject)
spread
myCopy = {...MyObject}
obj.assign
myCopy = Object.assign({}, MyObject)
