Run results for: structuredClone vs spread vs Object.assign + more

Note!: none of these tests actually do the same thing, and the data in the example is simple. consider also using arrays: those are nice. Some of these are shallow, some of these are deep-ish. Data is lost through JSON serialization and back, and more data would be lost in JSON and other methods depending on the data stored.

Tests:

structuredClone()
var newObj = structuredClone(voucher)
spread syntax
var newObj = {...voucher}
Object.assign
var newObj = Object.assign({}, voucher)
Object.fromEntries
var newObj = Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(voucher))
JSON
// loses the "types" property var newObj = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(voucher))
Cursed Proxy
// this registers as surprisingly performant for some reason, but keep in mind i didn't benchmark // usage, only creation, so in reality this could potentially not be performant when setting/getting. // either way this is really scuffed so you probably shouldn't take this approach var newObject = new Proxy({}, { get (o, p) { return p in o ? o[p] : o[p] ??= voucher[p] }, set (o, p, v) { o[p] = v; return true } })
