Tests:

destructuring with defaults, empty input
test(destructuringFn, {});
lodash get, empty input
test(lodashFn, {});
destructuring with defaults, find item
const input = { contextMenu: { data: { documents: [{ id: 'doc' }] } } }; test(destructuringFn, input);
lodash get, find item
const input = { contextMenu: { data: { documents: [{ id: 'doc' }] } } }; test(lodashFn, input);
destructuring dynamic key
const input = { contextMenu: { data: { documents: [{ id: 'doc' }] } } }; test(destructuringFn, input, 'documents');
lodash dynamic key
const input = { contextMenu: { data: { documents: [{ id: 'doc' }] } } }; test(lodashFnDynamic, input, 'documents');
lodash dynamic key using array
const input = { contextMenu: { data: { documents: [{ id: 'doc' }] } } }; test(lodashFnDynamicArray, input, 'documents');

I'll provide an explanation of the benchmark, options compared, pros and cons, and other considerations.

**Benchmark Overview**

MeasureThat.net is testing the performance of three approaches for accessing nested object properties in JavaScript:

1.  **Destructuring**: A syntax introduced in ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) that allows you to extract values from an object by assigning them to variables with the same name as the property.
2.  **Lodash _.get() method**: A utility function provided by the Lodash library, which helps you access nested properties of an object.

**Options Compared**

The benchmark compares three options for accessing nested object properties:

*   **Destructuring approach**
    *   Two variants: one with default values (`destructuringFn`) and one without ( `destructuringFnDynamic` )
    *   Both use destructuring syntax to access the desired property
*   **Lodash _.get() method approach**:
    *   Three variants: one for accessing properties with a single key (`lodashFn`), one using dynamic keys with dot notation (`lodashFnDynamic`), and one using dynamic keys with array notation (`lodashFnDynamicArray`)
*   **Empty input**
*   **Finding an item in the nested object**

**Pros and Cons of Each Approach**

### Destructuring approach

Pros:

*   Simple and readable syntax
*   Can be efficient for accessing properties with default values

Cons:

*   May not perform well when dealing with dynamic or unknown property names
*   Requires ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) support, which may not be universally available

### Lodash _.get() method approach

Pros:

*   Flexible and powerful utility function for accessing nested properties
*   Can handle dynamic keys and array notation
*   Works with a wide range of JavaScript versions

Cons:

*   May introduce additional overhead due to the use of a library function
*   Less readable syntax compared to destructuring

### Empty input

This option is likely used as a baseline or warm-up test, ensuring that the environment and benchmarking setup are correct before running the actual tests.

**Other Considerations**

The benchmark also considers various factors that may affect performance, such as:

*   **Device and browser support**: The results are obtained from a Chrome browser on a Windows 10 system.
*   **Input size and complexity**: The nested object contains multiple levels of properties, which increases the difficulty of accessing them.

By considering these factors and options, MeasureThat.net provides a comprehensive benchmarking scenario that helps developers understand the performance characteristics of their JavaScript code.
