Tests:

lodash
const res = _.xor(a, b).lenght === 0;
const res = _.xor(a, b).lenght === 0;

set diff

const res = a.length === b.length && a.every((x) => bs.has(x))

 
const res = a.length === b.length && a.every((x) => bs.has(x))

Let's break down the provided JSON and explain what's being tested.

Benchmark Definition

The benchmark is testing two different approaches to find the difference between two arrays, a and b.

Lodash: The benchmark uses Lodash, a popular JavaScript library for functional programming tasks. In this case, it tests the xor function from Lodash, which returns an array containing elements that are present in either of the input arrays but not both.
Set Difference: The other approach uses a simple set difference calculation to find the elements that are present in one array but not the other.

Options Compared

We have two options being compared:

Lodash: Uses Lodash's xor function, which is a built-in implementation for finding differences between arrays.
Set Difference: Uses a simple set difference calculation using a Set data structure to find elements that are present in one array but not the other.

Pros and Cons

Lodash:
- Pros: Fast and efficient, well-tested, and widely adopted.
- Cons: Adds an external dependency (Lodash), which may incur additional overhead.
Set Difference:
- Pros: Lightweight, no external dependencies required, and easy to implement.
- Cons: May be slower than Lodash's optimized implementation, and requires manual handling of edge cases.

Library: Set

The Set data structure is a built-in JavaScript object that allows you to store unique values. In this benchmark, it's used to find elements that are present in one array but not the other by checking if each element is already present in the set.

Special JS Feature/Syntax: None

There are no special JavaScript features or syntax being used in this benchmark.

Other Alternatives

If you're looking for alternative implementations of array difference algorithms, here are a few options:

Splice: You can use splice to remove elements from one array and add them to another.
Slice: You can use slice to create a new array with only the desired elements.
Filter: You can use filter to create a new array with elements that meet a certain condition.

However, these alternatives may not be as efficient or well-tested as Lodash's implementation or the set difference approach used in this benchmark.

In summary, the benchmark is testing two different approaches to find the difference between two arrays: using Lodash's xor function and a simple set difference calculation. The pros and cons of each approach highlight the trade-offs between using an external library (Lodash) versus a lightweight, manual implementation (set difference).

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark is testing two different approaches to find the difference between two arrays, `a` and `b`.

1. **Lodash**: The benchmark uses Lodash, a popular JavaScript library for functional programming tasks. In this case, it tests the `xor` function from Lodash, which returns an array containing elements that are present in either of the input arrays but not both.
2. **Set Difference**: The other approach uses a simple set difference calculation to find the elements that are present in one array but not the other.

**Options Compared**

We have two options being compared:

1. **Lodash**: Uses Lodash's `xor` function, which is a built-in implementation for finding differences between arrays.
2. **Set Difference**: Uses a simple set difference calculation using a `Set` data structure to find elements that are present in one array but not the other.

**Pros and Cons**

1. **Lodash**:
	* Pros: Fast and efficient, well-tested, and widely adopted.
	* Cons: Adds an external dependency (Lodash), which may incur additional overhead.
2. **Set Difference**:
