Let's dive into the world of JavaScript microbenchmarks and explore what's tested in this benchmark.

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark is designed to compare the performance of two approaches: ES6 destructuring and Lodash's _.get method, specifically when dealing with string and array keys. The tests cover various scenarios, including:

1. Destructuring with defaults (empty input)
2. Destructuring dynamic key
3. Lodash get with empty input
4. Lodash get dynamic key using array
5. Lodash get dynamic key using manually cached array

**Options Compared**

The benchmark compares the following options:

* **ES6 destructuring**: A simple and concise way to access object properties using destructuring syntax.
* **Lodash _.get method**: A popular utility function for accessing nested properties in objects.

Both approaches have their own pros and cons:

* **ES6 destructuring**:
	+ Pros: Simple, efficient, and widely supported.
	+ Cons: Can be error-prone if not used carefully, especially with complex object structures.
* **Lodash _.get method**:
	+ Pros: Robust and flexible, can handle nested properties and null/undefined values.
	+ Cons: Adds an additional dependency (Lodash library) and may introduce performance overhead.

**Test Scenarios**

The benchmark tests the following scenarios:

1. Destructuring with defaults (empty input): This test checks how quickly both approaches can access a default object property.
2. Destructuring dynamic key: This test evaluates the performance of both approaches when accessing an object property using a dynamic key.
3. Lodash get with empty input: This test compares the performance of both approaches when using _.get method on an empty object.
4. Lodash get dynamic key using array: This test assesses the performance of both approaches when using _.get method with a dynamic key and an array-like structure.
5. Lodash get dynamic key using manually cached array: This test evaluates the performance of both approaches when using _.get method with a dynamic key, an array-like structure, and manual caching.

**Results**

The benchmark results show the number of executions per second for each test scenario on Chrome 129 running on a desktop device. The top-performing approach varies depending on the specific test scenario.

* Destructuring with defaults (empty input): ES6 destructuring is faster.
* Destructuring dynamic key: Lodash _.get method is faster.
* Lodash get with empty input: ES6 destructuring is faster.
* Lodash get dynamic key using array: Lodash _.get method is faster.
* Lodash get dynamic key using manually cached array: Lodash _.get method is faster.

Keep in mind that these results are specific to Chrome 129 on a desktop device and may not reflect other browsers, devices, or performance characteristics.
