**Overview of the Benchmark**

MeasureThat.net is a website where users can create and run JavaScript microbenchmarks to compare the performance of different approaches on various platforms. The benchmark provided consists of two test cases: string splitting and object values extraction.

**Test Cases**

The first test case, "string split", measures the performance of splitting a string into an array using the `split()` method. The second test case, "object values", measures the performance of extracting values from an object using the `Object.values()` method.

**Options Compared**

In both test cases, the following options are compared:

* **String Splitting:**
	+ Using the `split()` method with a regular expression (e.g., `"a b c d e f g h i j".split(" ")`)
	+ Without using the `split()` method ( manual iteration through the string)
* **Object Values:**
	+ Using the `Object.values()` method
	+ Manual iteration through the object's properties

**Pros and Cons of Each Approach**

Here are some pros and cons of each approach:

* **String Splitting:**
	+ Using `split()`: Pros - concise and efficient; Cons - may not work as expected for all edge cases (e.g., null or undefined separator), and performance can be slower due to the overhead of regular expressions.
	+ Manual iteration: Pros - more control over the process, but requires more code and is generally slower.
* **Object Values:**
	+ Using `Object.values()`: Pros - concise and efficient; Cons - may not work as expected for objects with inheritance or prototype chains (e.g., `Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call()`).
	+ Manual iteration: Pros - more control over the process, but requires more code and is generally slower.

**Library Usage**

In the "object values" test case, the `Object.values()` method is used. This method is a part of the ECMAScript standard and returns an array of a given object's own enumerable property values. The purpose of this library is to provide a concise way to extract values from objects.

**Special JS Features**

In both test cases, no special JavaScript features or syntax are mentioned that require additional explanation.

**Alternatives**

Other alternatives for measuring the performance of string splitting and object values extraction could include:

* Using other string manipulation methods (e.g., `Array.prototype.map()` with a callback function)
* Using a library like Lodash (which provides `str.split()` and `pick.values()`)
