Revision 2 of this benchmark created on

Description

how slow is JSON.stringify?

Setup

// find length via stringify
function stringifyCheck(a, b) {
    return JSON.stringify(a).length >= JSON.stringify(b).length;
}

// find length via object.keys
function lengthOf(item) {
    switch (typeof item) {
        case 'string':
            return item.length;
        case 'number':
            return 1;
        case 'object':
            if (!item) return 0;
            if (Array.isArray(item)) {
                return item.reduce((acc, item) => acc + lengthOf(item), 0);
            }
            return Object.keys(item).reduce(
                (acc, key) =>
                    acc + key.length + lengthOf(item[key]),
                0,
            );
        default:
            return 0;
    }
}

function objectKeysCheck(a, b) {
    return lengthOf(a) >= lengthOf(b);
}
