Tests:

JSON copy
const data = {'my object' : [{'object a' : 'object object'},{'object b' : 'object object'}, {'object c' : 'object object', 'objectd': 36}, 5]} a = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data));
Deep copy
const data = {'my object' : [{'object a' : 'object object'},{'object b' : 'object object'}, {'object c' : 'object object', 'objectd': 36}, 5]} a = deepCopy(data);
