Object Utility Library

object-lib is a utility library for JavaScript that provides a collection of functions for robust object manipulation, particularly focusing on recursive operations, alignment, cloning, deep comparison, and merging. The current stable version is 5.2.4, with frequent patch and minor releases, indicating active maintenance and continuous development. Key differentiators include its integration with `object-scan` syntax for declarative pathing in functions like `clone` and `Merge`, enabling powerful and flexible data transformations. It also offers unique features like `jsonSmartParse` for gracefully handling malformed JSON, often encountered from LLM outputs, and `SafeProxy` for creating proxy objects that enforce strict property access, throwing errors for non-existent keys instead of returning `undefined`. The library is designed for modern Node.js environments, requiring Node.js version 20 or higher since v5.0.0, ensuring compatibility with contemporary JavaScript features.
