This benchmark compares two ways to retrieve the value 'Wang' from the person object:

• Lodash (_.get(person, 'name.last')): Uses the Lodash library's get() method, which is designed for safely accessing nested object properties.
• Native JavaScript (person.name.last): Directly accesses the property using dot notation, a standard way to navigate objects in JavaScript.

Pros and Cons:

• Lodash (_.get):

  • Pros: More robust handling of missing properties; can provide default values if a path doesn't exist. Potentially more readable for complex object structures.
  • Cons: Adds an extra dependency (the Lodash library) to your project, which increases bundle size and potential compatibility issues.

• Native JavaScript (person.name.last):

  • Pros: No external dependencies; concise and familiar syntax for most developers.
  • Cons: Less forgiving if a property doesn't exist - will throw an error. Can be more verbose for complex object structures.

Alternatives:

Other libraries besides Lodash offer similar functionality, such as:

• Immutable.js: Provides immutable data structures and methods for safe navigation.
• Ramda: Functional programming library with a focus on immutability and concise syntax.
