"cloneJSON is very slow and can’t do much. Please avoid it." I mean, I also use it since forever. But I might look into the winner cloneLib. If it is really faster, it might be worth it, but I likely still won't trust it for anything complex.

Emphasis on _data_. I don't have a need to clone complex objects (what the article is trying to do). The data I need to clone are usually small so when it comes to performance it's negligible, not worth adding another dependency to the project.
