Test name	Executions per second
array push	1837460.6 Ops/sec

Script Preparation code:

var oldData = { item1: 'olditem1', item2: 'olditem2', item3: 'unchanged' };
var newData = { item1: 'newitem1', item3: 'unchanged', item4: 'something else' };

Tests:

array push
const result = []; Object.entries(oldData).forEach(([key, oldValue]) => { const newValue = newData[key]; if (typeof newValue === 'undefined' || oldValue !== newValue) { result.push(key); } });
optimized push
const result = []; Object.keys(oldData).forEach((key) => { if (oldData[key] !== newData[key]) { result.push(key); } });
reduce
const result = Object.entries(oldData).reduce((accum, [key, oldValue]) => { const newValue = newData[key]; if (typeof newValue === 'undefined' || oldValue !== newValue) { return [...accum, key]; } return accum; }, []);
optimized reduce
const result = Object.keys(oldData).reduce((accum, key) => { if (oldData[key] !== newData[key]) { accum.push(key); } return accum; }, []);
