Tests:

jsondiffpatch
var diff1 = jsondiffpatch.diff(obj1, obj2); /*var objnew = jsonpatch.deepClone(obj1); // jsondiffpatch.unpatch(objnew, diff1);*/
FAST JSON-patch
var diff3 = jsonpatch.compare(obj1, obj2); /*var objnew = jsonpatch.deepClone(obj1); jsonpatch.applyPatch(objnew, diff3, false, true);*/

Let's break down the provided benchmark and explain what's being tested, compared, and their pros/cons.

**Benchmark Overview**

The benchmark measures the performance of two JavaScript libraries: `jsondiffpatch` and FAST JSON-patch (also known as jsonpatch). The test case involves comparing two objects (`obj1` and `obj2`) for differences. Specifically, it checks how quickly each library can compute these differences.

**Options Compared**

There are three options being compared:

1. **JSON-Diff Patch (jsondiffpatch)**: This library provides a method called `diff()` that computes the differences between two objects.
2. **FAST JSON-Patch**: This library provides methods like `compare()`, which also computes object differences, and `applyPatch()` to apply those differences.

**Pros/Cons of Each Approach**

1. **JSON-Diff Patch (jsondiffpatch)**:
	* Pros: Simple to use, straightforward API.
	* Cons: Might be slower due to the way it calculates differences.
2. **FAST JSON-Patch**:
	* Pros: Optimized for performance, efficient algorithm.
	* Cons: Can be more complex to use compared to jsondiffpatch.

**Library Descriptions**

1. **JSON-Diff Patch (jsondiffpatch)**: A JavaScript library that provides a simple and efficient way to compute differences between two objects. It's designed for patching JSON data.
2. **FAST JSON-Patch**: A lightweight, optimized library developed by Mozilla. Its primary goal is to efficiently handle JSON patches in web applications.

**Special JS Features/Syntax**

None mentioned explicitly in the provided benchmark. However, it's worth noting that `jsonpatch` and `jsondiffpatch` both rely on the concept of "patches" – a set of operations (additions, deletions, or modifications) to apply to an original object.

**Alternative Alternatives**

Other alternatives for JSON diffing include:

1. **JSON Patch**: A simple, human-readable format for describing changes to a JSON document.
2. **Lodash's `diff()` function**: Another JavaScript library that computes differences between two objects.
3. **DeepDiff**: A more comprehensive library for computing object differences.

In summary, the benchmark compares the performance of `jsondiffpatch` and FAST JSON-patch libraries in computing object differences. The choice between these libraries depends on your specific use case, with jsondiffpatch offering simplicity at the cost of potentially slower performance and FAST JSON-patch prioritizing efficiency but with a more complex API.
