What is the difference between Underscore.js and Lodash?
The question is about Underscore.js
The difference between Underscore.js and Lodash lies in functionality, performance, and community support. Lodash was originally meant to complement Underscore.js and had all the core features of Underscore, with enhancements in terms of performance and a modular architecture out of the box. It provides more utility functions, better support for chaining, and improved handling of edge cases, thus being able to perform many versatile and reliable tasks.
Performance-wise, Lodash is mostly way ahead of Underscore.js, especially in heavy operations, since it has been further optimized. Lodash also has a more extensive community, more frequent updates, and modular imports. This keeps the bundle size down. Although Underscore.js is good for most utility functionality, the choice of Lodash is usually extended through features, performance optimizations, and flexibility.
