Measuring the performance of different approaches to calculate the next month in JavaScript is an interesting task.
Overview
The benchmark tests four different approaches to calculate the next month:
getMonth()
method to get the current month, and then adds 1 to it to get the next month.setMonth()
method.Options Compared
The benchmark compares the performance of these four approaches on different types of devices and browsers:
Pros and Cons of Each Approach
Library and Syntax Used
None of the approaches use any external libraries or JavaScript features other than what is built into the language.
Special JS Feature or Syntax
The Small Date Object approach uses a unique syntax that creates a new date object by setting the month directly. This syntax is specific to older versions of JavaScript (before ECMAScript 2015) and may not be supported in modern browsers.
Other Alternatives
If none of these approaches were considered, other alternatives could include:
However, these alternatives may not be as efficient or easy to use as the benchmarked approaches.
