Benchmark: Proxy JS Set Benchmark

Script Preparation code:

object = { value: 'data' };
proxy = new Proxy(object, {})
proxyWithSet = new Proxy(object, {
	set(target, prop, value) { 
     target[prop] = value;
     return value;
   }
})

Tests:

object.value =1;
object.value =1;
proxy.value =1;
proxy.value =1;
proxyWithSet.value =1;
proxyWithSet.value =1;

**What is being tested?**

The provided benchmark tests the performance of three different approaches for setting values in a JavaScript object:

1. **Direct assignment**: `object.value = 1;`
2. **Proxy with a setter function**: `proxy.value = 1;`
3. **Proxy with a setter function using a set() method**: `proxyWithSet.value = 1;`

These tests aim to measure the performance differences between these approaches.

**Options comparison**

The three options are compared in terms of their execution speed and efficiency.

* **Pros and cons:**
	+ **Direct assignment (`object.value = 1;`)**:
		- Pros: Simple, straightforward, and efficient.
		- Cons: May not provide optimal performance due to potential caching or optimization by the JavaScript engine.
	+ **Proxy with a setter function (`proxy.value = 1;`)**:
		- Pros: Provides more flexibility and control over the setting process.
		- Cons: May introduce additional overhead due to the creation of a proxy object, which can lead to slower performance compared to direct assignment.
	+ **Proxy with a setter function using a set() method (`proxyWithSet.value = 1;`)**:
		- Pros: Provides more control and flexibility over the setting process, similar to the previous option.
		- Cons: May introduce additional overhead due to the creation of a proxy object and the use of the `set()` method, which can lead to slower performance compared to direct assignment.

**Library usage**

In this benchmark, the `Proxy` class is used to create proxy objects. The `Proxy` class is a built-in JavaScript class that allows you to create a proxy object, which can be used to control access to an object's properties or methods.

The `set()` method is also used in two of the test cases (`proxy.value = 1;` and `proxyWithSet.value = 1;`) to set values on the proxy objects. The `set()` method is a built-in JavaScript method that can be used to add new properties to an object or update existing ones.

**Special JS features or syntax**

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

**Other alternatives**

If you want to create similar benchmarks, you could consider testing other approaches for setting values in a JavaScript object, such as:

* Using a library like `lodash` or `ramda` that provides functional programming utilities.
* Testing the performance of different data structures, such as arrays or objects.
* Creating benchmarks with custom JavaScript functions or methods.

Some popular alternatives to MeasureThat.net include:

* **Benchmark.js**: A high-performance benchmarking framework for Node.js.
* **JSMeter**: A JavaScript benchmarking library that allows you to create and run benchmarks.
* **jsbench**: A lightweight JavaScript benchmarking tool that supports multiple test cases.
