Benchmark: Spread vs Assign benchmark 2

Tests:

Basic object spread
const obj = { foo: 1, bar: 2 }; const finalObject = { baz: 3, ...obj };
Basic assign operator
const obj = { foo: 1, bar: 2 }; const finalObject = Object.assign({baz: 3}, obj);
Assign with empty object
const obj = { foo: 1, bar: 2 }; Object.assign({}, obj, { baz: 3 });
Spread operator with two existing objects
const obj = { foo: 1, bar: 2 }; const obj2 = { baz: 3 }; const finalObject = {...obj2, ...obj };
Object assign with two existing objects
const obj = { foo: 1, bar: 2 }; const obj2 = { baz: 3 }; const finalObject = Object.assign(obj2, obj );

Let's dive into the world of JavaScript microbenchmarks.

**Benchmark Purpose:**
The `MeasureThat.net` benchmark tests how JavaScript engines handle object spread and assignment operations in various scenarios. Specifically, it compares different approaches to create a new object by spreading or assigning existing objects.

**Options Compared:**

1. **Basic Object Spread**: This option uses the syntax `{ ...obj }`, where `obj` is an existing object being spread into a new object.
2. **Basic Assign Operator**: This option uses the syntax `Object.assign({ baz: 3 }, obj)`, where `obj` is an existing object being assigned to a new object with an initial value of `{ baz: 3 }`.
3. **Assign with Empty Object**: This option uses the syntax `Object.assign({}, obj, { baz: 3 })`, where `obj` is an existing object and an empty object `{}` is used as the target for assignment.
4. **Spread Operator with Two Existing Objects**: This option uses the syntax `{ ...obj2, ...obj }`, where both `obj2` and `obj` are existing objects being spread into a new object.
5. **Object Assign with Two Existing Objects**: This option uses the syntax `Object.assign(obj2, obj)`, where both `obj2` and `obj` are existing objects being assigned to a new object.

**Pros and Cons:**

* **Basic Object Spread**: Pros - concise and readable; Cons - may not be supported in older browsers.
* **Basic Assign Operator**: Pros - widely supported across browsers; Cons - less readable than the spread syntax.
* **Assign with Empty Object**: Pros - allows for more control over the assignment process; Cons - requires a second object as an argument.
* **Spread Operator with Two Existing Objects**: Pros - concise and readable; Cons - may not be supported in older browsers.
* **Object Assign with Two Existing Objects**: Pros - widely supported across browsers; Cons - less readable than the spread syntax.

**Libraries Used:**
In this benchmark, `Object.assign()` is used as a library function to facilitate object assignment. It's a standard method for assigning properties from one or more source objects to a target object.

**Special JS Features/Syntax:**
This benchmark doesn't explicitly use any special JavaScript features or syntax beyond the standard syntax for creating new objects using spread and assign operators.

**Other Considerations:**

* Browser Support: The benchmark is run on Chrome Mobile 89, which may not reflect the behavior in other browsers.
* Device Platform: The test runs on a mobile device with Android 5.1.1, which might introduce variations due to mobile-specific considerations.

**Alternatives:**
To measure object spread and assignment performance, you could use alternative approaches such as:

* Using `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj))` for basic spreading
* Implementing a custom spread function using recursion or iteration
* Testing with other libraries or frameworks that provide similar functionality

Keep in mind that each approach has its own trade-offs and potential drawbacks. The choice of method depends on the specific requirements and constraints of your project.
