Hey this is really cool! Not sure how this compares to https://github.com/benjamine/jsondiffpatch which has been unmaintained for some time. But if this could replace it I'd happy to start using it.

The fastest object diff library in JavaScript

I maintain symmetry[1] and wanted to try the benchmark against it, but the results are very inconsistent. Symmetry is anywhere between 50% slower to 20% _faster_ than microdiff on the small object benchmark.
Symmetry doesn't get a lot of activity, but I've been using it in production for many years. It does some more work on array diffing, which this benchmark doesn't cover, by implementing part of Myers' algorithm.
