Tests:

Using the spread operator
const firstObject = { prop0: 'Hello world', prop1: 1, prop2: 2, prop3: "3", prop4: false, prop5: 0.2 }; const finalObject = {...firstObject};
Using Object.assign
const firstObject = { prop0: 'Hello world', prop1: 1, prop2: 2, prop3: "3", prop4: false, prop5: 0.2 }; const finalObject = Object.assign({}, firstObject);
Manually copying properties
const firstObject = { prop0: 'Hello world', prop1: 1, prop2: 2, prop3: "3", prop4: false, prop5: 0.2 }; let finalObject = {}; finalObject.prop0 = firstObject.prop0; finalObject.prop1 = firstObject.prop1; finalObject.prop2 = firstObject.prop2; finalObject.prop3 = firstObject.prop3; finalObject.prop4 = firstObject.prop4; finalObject.prop5 = firstObject.prop5;
Create new object while copying
const firstObject = { prop0: 'Hello world', prop1: 1, prop2: 2, prop3: "3", prop4: false, prop5: 0.2 }; const finalObject = { prop0: firstObject.prop0, prop1: firstObject.prop1, prop2: firstObject.prop2, prop3: firstObject.prop3, prop4: firstObject.prop4, prop5: firstObject.prop5 };
Create new object from scratch
const firstObject = { prop0: 'Hello world', prop1: 1, prop2: 2, prop3: "3", prop4: false, prop5: 0.2 }; const finalObject = { prop0: 'Hello world', prop1: 1, prop2: 2, prop3: "3", prop4: false, prop5: 0.2 };
StructuredClone
const firstObject = { prop0: 'Hello world', prop1: 1, prop2: 2, prop3: "3", prop4: false, prop5: 0.2 }; const finalObject = structuredClone(firstObject);
JSON
const firstObject = { prop0: 'Hello world', prop1: 1, prop2: 2, prop3: "3", prop4: false, prop5: 0.2 }; const finalObject = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(firstObject));
